Todd Lake

A well-known high mountain lake, Todd Lake is situated in the Deschutes National Forest close to Bend. The 66-mile Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway provides quick access to the lake. From late spring until early fall, traffic is allowed on this picturesque road.

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.
