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 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.
We plan to camp at the same spectacular peninsula.
We will supply you with a detailed map so
you can paddle across the lake to the campsite. 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 45
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 Islet Campground on the north part of the lake.
