The Central Cascade Range scenery is always beautiful. Jefferson Lake sees pretty high levels of rainfall; the month of December is the wettest with most of the rain, and July on the other hand is the driest. Life's too short to enjoy all the entertaining things in the Central Cascade Range. The Jefferson Lake Trail offers hiking at its best. You'll need more than a day to look at everything
 
               Jefferson Lake has to offer, you can camp at Wizard Falls Campground.
This lake is so wonderful. A pleasant nearby hotel is Best Western Ponderosa Lodge, and Cabot Lake is a nearby lake that you could explore. All year is a splendid time in the Central Cascade Range if you have a thing about the outdoors. Lava Spring is a tremendous local attraction, and Marion Creek is a pleasant whitewater spot nearby. Head up to Hoodoo and strap some skis to your feet.
Don't you try to stop me, cause I'm havin' a good time here at Jefferson Lake. In case you don’t have a problem getting covered with water, you can always go whitewater paddling on Metolius River; Hole-in-the-Wall Park is a gorgeous location any time of year. This lake is so wonderful. Why not take a refreshing hike along the Jefferson Creek Trail; if you get bored of Jefferson Lake you could also have a look at nearby Junction Lake.

Jefferson Lake Trail
I just completed this trail with my German Shepherd and had a great time. We made Jefferson Lake in 4 hours, stayed the night and returned at a faster pace, making the trailhead in 3 hours. A big portion of the trail is overgrown with 5ft. tall plant life, making the trail impossible to see. I used a compass to stay on course and bushwhack for about 3 miles, then picked up the trail again. It's obvious this trail hasn't received any attention from the forest service for some time now,so plan on using your nav skills on this one. We encountered a braver-than-average black bear while encamped at Jefferson Lake, and had difficulty finding a suitable place to hang a bear bag since all the trees are limbless due to a forest fire. My dog, Sigg, is a good bear deterrant and took the night shift guarding the food bag. If you are considering this trail, start early enough so you're not walking in the dark and bring some good jungle juice (deet). Bear bells may be useful as well. Hope this helps somebody!...
