Description

Added by Mariya Dondonyan

A 10-mile trail circumnavigates this scenic Odell lake. 65 feet of elevation gain over the hike. Fresh water fishing at the lake. Lake Depth: 300ft. Bait and tackle available at the Lake's Lodge. Fishes in the lake: Trout, Kokanee Salmon, and Mackinaw (Lake Trout). Duration: All day.

This spot in central Oregon is a beautiful, natural lake where you can combine a nice hike with an afternoon of fishing. There are opportunities for multiple hikes surrounding the lake that are moderately challenging hikes and also remain scenic throughout the 10 mile trek around the lake.

Relax after the hike down by the lake, fish, and enjoy the fresh air for a perfect afternoon.

Hiking and Fishing at Odell Lake

08/30/19

This app doesn’t have Crescent Lake as a destination, but it’s just past Odell Lake and a definite must see! There are yurts for rent at $40/night and the lake is crystal clear. My family went camping here and we had so much fun snorkeling and lounging on the beach, then roasting s’mores around the campfire at night. The yurts were clean and had sleeping accommodations for 5. there were toilets available, but no showers. There are cabins, tent spaces or yurts to choose from with a lodge you can buy any forgotten items.

Winter Backpack to Diamond View Lake

Diamond View Lake is relatively unknown compared to many of the other lakes in the Oregon Cascades, yet the views it delivers of Diamond Peak are top-notch. While it can also be done as a summer backpack, winter brings out the best aspects of the scenery - low-angle light on Diamond Peak, long nights and crisp skies for star gazing, and complete solitude only 5 miles into the wilderness.The tr...

Ski or Snowshoe to Midnight Lake

The trip to Midnight Lake is a great way to spend a winter day and explore an otherwise overlooked lake in the central Oregon Cascades. Although the lake does see winter visitors, it is often empty and very few people bother to hike to the far end of the lake. The route to the lake is through beautiful fir forest and is often well-tracked. Start out at the Gold Lake Sno-Park, just west of the ...

Fly Fish on Davis Lake

About 50 miles southwest of Bend, Davis Lake is one of the major fishing destinations among the cluster of lakes in central Oregon. The lake was once known as a go-to spot for really big rainbow trout, but largemouth bass were illegally introduced to the Davis Lake in the 90s and they have now taken over. There is no limit on the size or number of bass that can be kept, which helps maintain the...

Fuji Mountain Summit via Waldo Road

Background Fuji Mountain has been known by mountain bikers for years, since it sits just off the circuit of popular biking routes around Waldo Lake and makes for a notoriously difficult climb on a bike. Word hasn't spread to the hiking community yet, despite the spectacular views from the summit. The peak has unimpeded views to the east, where the Three Sisters, Broken Top, and Mount Bachelo...

Ski or Snowshoe to Fuji Shelter

This is a great and relatively easy winter overnight trip for cross-country skiiers and snowshoers alike into the crest of the Oregon Cascades. The route offers tremendous views of Diamond Peak, Willamette Pass, and the western Oregon Cascades. While it can be done in a day, take advantage of the US Forest Service's Fuji Shelter and spend the night warming up next to the wood stove. Because o...

Diamond Creek Falls

The beginning of this trail starts at the parking lot of Salt Creek Falls, right off of the 58 freeway. During the winter months, there's a gate blocking the road to the parking lot. You can park at the gate and it's a 0.6 mile walk to the beginning of the Salt Creek Falls trailhead. If you haven't seen Salt Creek Falls, the second tallest waterfall in Oregon cascading 286 feet, please do. It's...
