Trout Lake is great enough to spend more than a day at, Trout Lake Campground is a great local campground, and there are good places to look at along the Camp One Trail. The Central Cascade Range scenery is always beautiful. This lake is so wonderful. Glide down the rapids of Metolius River in a kayak, and close by you discover the Blue Lake Camas Prairie Trail which is a perfect hiking trail. All the water falling down from the sky makes Trout Lake a

All through the wintertime the highs are generally in the 30's, and night lows at Trout Lake through the wintertime generally fall into the 20's. This is no place for people who don’t like to enjoy themselves. Going for a hike on the Pacific Crest Trail - section 22 | |

is always a fine adventure. Lakes are great; Boulder Lake is a lake that's close to Trout Lake. And if that's not sufficient there's a load more exciting stuff to do in the Central Cascade Range. Get wet paddling on Marion Creek,
and since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always visit close by Island Lake. A brilliant site to camp here at Trout Lake is Lemiti Campground; Hoodoo has good slopes and a friendly staff. Now, you may feel that's a lot but there's even more entertaining stuff to do here in the Central Cascade Range.

Pacific Crest Trail - section 22
 | Roundtrip Distance 13.7 miles Elevation Gain 2,348 ft. This peak is trailless, meaning a portion or all of the route up the mountain is via an unmarked trail. For this particular mountain, the typical route is known as a ''herd path'' which is not much more than a worn, but unmarked trail. Some of the herd paths are easy to follow, others are not. In many instances the hiker will travel down a false herd path and eventually have to correct his/her course via backtracking. For these particular mountains, it is imperative that the hiker carry a compass (and know how to use it) and topographic map.... |
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!... |
