Trillium Lake

Trillium Lake near Mt. Hood in Clackamas County, Oregon

The picture above explains one of the reasons that trillium lake is so popular. Few places on Earth could be rated as more beautiful, especially on a calm, late spring day with Mt. Hood reflecting in the mirror-like surface. Trillium Lake is easy to get too, being only about two miles from Hwy 26, and accessible by a paved road. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife stocks catchable size rainbow trout each month through the summer. Plantings of "Trophy" trout can be expected in the fall. Trillium has a large camp ground, boat ramp and fishing dock. With easy access, and loads of fat dumb trout, this is a great lake for beginning anglers to start out on.
