PADDLE:	Waldo Lake-Kayaking and Primitive Camping
MEETING:	RSVP for times, details and map. Cars parked at Shadow Bay
LEVEL:	All
TIME:	Multiple Days Camping
LEADER:
	Note: you must pack and kayak to the campsite. It is not reachable by car or hike. Waldo Lake, in the Oregon Cascades south of the Three Sisters, is the second largest natural lake in Oregon and like our largest lake, Crater Lake, its waters come from below it and the result is an intense blue color and you can see clearly hundreds of feet below you. With a shoreline of 23 miles there are plenty of places to paddle. No motor boats are allowed making it a paddling paradise. No beginners or recreational kayaks should cross the lake unattended. We will also arrange meeting times at the boat launch for those unfamiliar with the location. It is a 40 minute paddle to the campsite. We will be camping at primitive campsites that are only accessible by kayak, so you must pack your gear in the kayak. This is a remote location. RSVP is mandatory. Waldo Lake is a 3 hour drive from Portland. Parking is at the Shadow Lake Campground. From Oakridge, proceed east on Hwy 58 for 25 miles to the Waldo Lake Road (FS Road 5897). Continue on Waldo Lake Road for 6 1/2 miles to the Shadow Bay turnoff. Follow signs to Shadow Bay Campground. NOTE YOU MUST RSVP for the specific location. RSVP must be at least 5 days prior. Trivia: Where is the source of the Willamette River? Jeni will be arriving on Wednesday Sept 1 Kyle will be arriving on Friday Sept 3. Previous year pictures:
