Beach

This site is located on the shores of Elk Lake and has stunning views of South Sister. During the summer months it is a popular location to enjoy a sandy beach, swim and picnic. PLEASE NOTE: Beach is one of the few recreation sites on the Forest where DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED because of safety and sanitary issues. If you plan to go to Elk Lake, the Forest Service encourages you to leave your dog at home or visit another lake where dogs are allowed. People may be fined $100 if they bring onto or possess a dog in a swimming area where dogs are prohibited (36 CFR 261.17(k)).
