Village Green Resort, and don't leave Dorena Lake without first going for a hike along the Teeter Creek Loop.
This lake is so wonderful. You could also visit Booth-Kelly Lumber Company Log Pond if you're here at Dorena Lake; it's
close by, and there's good hiking along the Rock Creek Trail. The high level of rain makes Dorena Lake a rather wet spot; the wettest month of the year is ordinarily November, that's the one that rains the most, and July on the other
hand is the driest. Baker Creek flows through this vicinity; from Dorena Lake you acquire a wonderful vista of Bald Mountain.
And if that's not enough, there's lots more to do close to Dorena Lake. Now, you may assume that's plenty
but there's even more amusing stuff to do here in the Central Cascade Range. If you come at the right time of year, Row River offers some brilliant whitewater. There's so much to do here at Dorena Lake that you need to camp here for
a while, Happy Eagle Lodge and RV's is a great site for that. Whohoo, so much enjoyable stuff in one place! The Central Cascade Range is excellent! Very perfect water scenery is available at Dorena Dam near Dorena Lake; if you're a golfer then a tremendous nearby course is Middlefield Golf Course.

Local Cottage Grove Rescue divers (30 min. from the falls) have also died in recent years at Wildwood Falls in attempts to drag dead bodies out, because of the debris and undertow. It seems like a very docile place to swim and is a very popular place in the summer (approx. 150-200 people every day). BUT anyone going in the water in June are really asking for trouble unless the water level is really low and calm. If the water is still high or even at a moderate level weeks after the last heavy rain, logs and branches that wash down from the Umpqua National Forest logging operations many miles up river get trapped at the first big basin, Wildwood Falls, and thrash about under the water, pulling down anyone who gets in. I have personally seen people drown because they slipped from the rocks, or dove in and hit debris, or because they were wearing sandals and fell into the water when it was at a moderate level in J... |

... a variety of activities as depicted on the handout. All are fun, especially the Blackberry Jam with the many events going on in Lowell which is only 2 miles from our Park.
As July turns to August, the blackberries begin to ripen and are ready to pick off the bushes in our Park and in the nearby areas. It's fun to just pick and eat some as you go!
In the fall you'll see an array of colors in the various deciduous trees and shrubs along with the stately evergreen trees staying their wonderful lush green color.
We are about an hours drive to snowmobiling and cross-country skiing at Crescent Lake Resort, which is a part of the Hoodoo Family. Before reaching Crescent Lake Resort, you'll arrive at the top of Willamette Pass where you can find downhill skiing.
Crater Lake (about 100 miles) and the Beach Cities (about an hour) would make great day trips. Cottage Grove and Coburg have antique shops and are interesting towns to visit (each is about 20 miles from Park)
We'd sure like you to consider having an outing and an adventure at Dexter Shores RV Park t... |
