Hyatt Lake is a 5.4-mile out-and-back hike on Forest Service land in Oregon's Klamath Ranger District of the Fremont-Winema National Forest. The route rises from about 5,014 feet to 5,754 feet, with a total climb of 1,319 feet and a similar descent. That makes for a moderate outing, with the steepest stretch at about 18% grade around the 2.3-mile mark. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the Howard Prairie Dam weather station, about 13 miles away, show July and August highs near 79°F with lows in the mid-40s, and only a couple of wet days a month. Winter brings highs in the mid-30s and regular snow days. The High Lakes Bike Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and the Cabin cross-country ski area is about 0.3 mile off. Aspen Point Campground and Rainbow Bay are both within about 1.3 miles.
