Overview

About this park

Camp Lake is a small alpine lake in Deschutes County in the U.S. state of Oregon. It lies between the Middle Sister and South Sister volcanic peaks at about 7,000 feet (2,100 m) above sea level in the Three Sisters Wilderness of the Cascade Range. The Camp Lake Trail skirts the lake along its north shore. Camp Lake has a surface area of 6.4 acres (2.6 ha) and a shoreline of about 0.4 miles (0.6 km). The lake forms the headwaters of the south fork of Whychus Creek, a tributary of the Deschutes River.
