Todd Lake

A natural lake called Todd Lake can be found in central Oregon, USA, close to the Cascade Range's summit. The lake is 45 acres in size (18 ha). It bears John Y. Todd's name, a pioneer settler in Central Oregon. The Deschutes National Woodland, which includes the lake and surrounding forest, is currently managed by the US Forest Service. Each year, brook trout are regularly stocked into the lake by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. On the lake's western coast, a day use area and a basic campground are situated.

Todd Lake is a terrific location for families searching for simple alpine activities because only a short amount of hiking is required to get to the coastline. Todd Lake does not allow motorized boats, however, kayaking, hiking, and photography are very popular. Less than five lakeside tent sites at the adjoining Todd Lake Campground are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

The most popular location for getting on the lake is the Todd Lake Day Use Area. Facilities include areas for fishing from the shoreline, picnic tables, and restrooms. The Todd Lake Trailhead is where visitors can enter the Three Sisters Wilderness.
