Things To Do
Loloma Lodge

McKenzie River Trail
Named one of the best mountain biking and running trails in the US, the McKenzie River trail runs along the McKenzie River. Bring a bike, or rent one from Blazin Saddles Bike Shop or Horse Creek Lodge & Outfitters. Or just stroll along the river for stunning views, swimming holes and quintessential Oregon scenery. There are multiple points of access.

Tamolitch Blue Pool
A striking pool with frigid waters awaits hikers on this busy trail in a scenic, forested setting.
Clear Lake Resort
“The spring-fed lake is exceptionally clear, with visibility to the bottom more than 100 feet down in some spots – with the ghostly trunks of cold-preserved trees rising from the bottom. The lake is kept in pristine condition by limiting boat traffic to muscle power only. There are very few contaminants introduced into the lake, keeping it clear and ecologically sound. The SCUBA diving in Clear Lake is amazing. Clear Lake is known to be one of the most exceptional freshwater diving spots in the United States. There is so much natural beauty to experience, with breathtaking visibility.”
McKenzie Pass Scenic Byway
“Oregon’s highest mountains create wildly contrasting landscapes, which you’ll clearly witness on this drive. On the east side of the Cascade Mountains, golden grasslands and lodgepole pine prevail; over the passes, you’ll cross into fir and cedar forests and mossy-green river valleys. Fire juxtaposes with ice, too, where snowy, glaciated peaks rise up from stark black lava fields. It’s a region of national significance — home to several endangered species, centuries-old pristine forest and noteworthy volcanic geology — that you can experience up close on a weekend road trip.”
Smith Rock State Park
The high desert of Oregon. The park covers over 650 acres and hovers around 3000 feet in elevation. The major rock faces are welded tuff, or compressed volcanic ash formed 30 million years ago.
