We took our canoe up to lake Thomas to meet up with my son who was camping. There are 4 separate lakes, all connected by a channel of water between each, so you can paddle between all four. Motorized boats and skidoos are allowed. We had success in fishing with trout and perch caught and we release. The campsite caretakers are friendly. The campsites are clean and sheltered beneath the pines with trails to the lake itself. There is a boat launching area with a dock. Close by is a more formal privately owned campground where you can get phone service and electric plugins if your not into roughing it. There is no cell service in the campground my son stayed in. So if you want to get away from it all, this is the place. It's about two hours out of Spokane.
