GOLD LAKE CAMPGROUND

This 21 site campground is situated near the Cascade crest with some sites adjacent to the picturesque Gold Lake. Visitors come for the alpine forest setting, tranquil environment, autumn huckleberries, and wildlife viewing. The adjacent Gold Lake bog is ideal for viewing deer, elk, and beaver. Gas motors are prohibited on the small lake, but electric motors are allowed at slow-no wake speed. The lake is fly-fishing only, please consult the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for the most up-to-date information. A historic "Willamette Winged" log shelter exists in the day use area, and provides an overnight place for cross-country skiers during the winter, and a day-use facility during summer. The shelter was designed by William Parke, the Willamette National Forest's first Recreation Planner, and constructed with Civilian Conservation Corps labor during the early 1940s.
