Description:

Camp Lake's location between the Middle and South Sisters make it one of the most scenic destinations in the Three Sisters Wilderness plus the lake's sand beaches and bottom and crystal clear waters makes it one of my favorite swimming lakes so bring your water shoes and rubber ducky. We'll be starting at the Pole Creek trailhead, an area that was burned in 2018, so we'll be getting lots of sun for the first 4 miles. After the hike we'll stop at Takoda's in Sisters for dinner before we drive home. A long drive and hike plus dinner make this an all day adventure so don't make any other plans for this day.

Trip Report

It's common nowadays for many of our hikes to be through burn areas. The hike to Camp Lake goes through almost four miles of the 2012 Pole Creek burn giving our group of six hikers plenty of sun exposure. Add in about 100 trees obstructing the trail and this was a challenging 15 mile hike. The payoffs are the crystal clear waters of Camp Lake and the close up views of the Sisters. After enjoying a swim in the lake we hiked back the seven plus miles to our trailhead at Pole Creek and drove to Sisters for dinner.
