Dublin Lake is a short, easy hike in Oregon's Mark O. Hatfield Wilderness, inside the Hood River Ranger District of Mt. Hood National Forest. The trail is an out-and-back that covers about 0.4 miles, with a total elevation gain of 554 feet. The climb is steepest at the start, where the trail rises about 22% before leveling off. The route is on natural surface, and it is not an accessible trail. The Forest Service manages the land, and the hike sits within wilderness, so plan around the wilderness rules that apply to the area. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. A nearby weather station at Government Camp records typical July and August highs around 70°F, with only about four wet days a month. Winter brings typical highs in the mid-30s and rain on 20 or more days a month. The hike takes about half an hour, and the Tanner Cutoff Trail #448 starts just 0.1 mile away. Tanner Creek Trail #431 is about 1.3 miles off. Eagle Creek Campground and Eagle Creek Overlook, both about 3 miles away, offer places to stay.
