Start time: 8:30 AM
Description:
Please read the description carefully-
Double loop hike combining the McKenzie River waterfalls loop with the Clear Lake loop. Dinner at Takoda's.
Our caravan will depart Springfield and drive about an hour and fifteen minutes to the Clear Lake Lodge parking area. The plan is to be on the trail at about 10 am. The route will start at the lodge, going north, then make our way over to the Great Spring and the east side of the lake. Around noontime, near the south end of the lake, we will find an area along the trail to have lunch and rest (bring your lunch). After lunch, we will make our way down the McKenzie River to Sahalie and Koosah Falls, then return to the Clear Lake Lodge.
In the afternoon, THE SCHEDULE IS FLUID. We hope to have time to "just hang out" at the lake (rent a boat, read, rest, enjoy the view, etc. a low-key afternoon). The plan is to depart Clear Lake between 4:30 and 5:00 pm, stopping at Takoda's restaurant in Blue River for dinner. There is no fixed time to return to the cars in Springfield, but it should be between 7pm - 8 pm.
