You can never go wrong with a drive to East Lake! It's beauty never disappoints. In late spring you'll see remnant's of ice and snow with a cold crisp wind blowing over the lake. In early fall it's mild and beautiful. In summer it's just plain gorgeous!

We met here for a family reunion. The park is beautiful and met the needs of all our family from those in tents to those in RVs with hookups. I had rented the meeting hall which was canceled due to covid, but we were still allowed to use the picnic tables and BBQ grill outside the hall. There is a big grassy area by the hall for kids to run and play. The river is close by for kids to enjoy

The coarse is in great shape (very lush) greens were close to perfect and the bunkers had lots of soft sand. If you can't hit your driver straight it's going to be a long round because there are lots of trees along side of the fairways.
6. Lava Cast Forest Trail

What would you expect to see at this remote mountaintop attraction known as the “Lava Cast Forest”? For me, it was a total surprise! I had envisioned a jungle of “lava” trees towering skyward, standing like a magnificent assemblage of monumental soldiers – cast in stone. Instead, a prostrate lava-rock landscape over 5 square miles sprawled before me, riddled with bizarre cylindrical hollows “drilled” into the ground, looking like cement-lined foxholes (= the tree casts, or “molds”). Lanky armed tree ghosts also littered the area, seeming to be desperately clutching the earth with their fractured limbs. And “decapitated” trees with strangely twisted trunks reared up in contorted postures or lay coarsely splintered on the mangled rubble. What an amazing site! According to the Newberry National Volcanic Monument’s “Volcanic Vistas 2018” flyer, the Lava Cast Forest was “formed when a lava flow overtook an old-growth forest and cooled to form casts of the trees that once stood there.” Mostly we saw the remnant casts from just the base of the trees, which extended both above ground and several feet below-ground, and looked like mini sinkholes, but with a bottom. Getting there took almost half an hour drive from the Highway 97 turnoff (Exit 153). It was slow going (20 miles per hour) past a dreary fire-scarred forest with unsightly slash heaps, stretching about nine miles on a washboard gravel forest road. But oh – what beauty began as we approached the mountain’s summit! Bright yellow willow bushes blazed with golden light, and a grove of aspens burst in orange and red hues. At the top, there was plenty of parking in spacious lots, with two picnic tables near, and an outhouse at the start of the 1-mile-long loop trail. And what a magical trail – beginning in a pretty fall-colored woodland, then opening onto the ancient landscape of the lava cast forest which was created over 7,000 years ago when scorching molten lava erupted from the Newberry Volcano (another area to visit to the south)! Although all of the trail is paved, it is only wheelchair accessible part of the way, & then gets narrower & steeper. The spiraling path leads past quite a variety of eye-catching lava casts, with benches for resting & reflection, informative interpretative signs along the way, and scenic views of the hazy distant mountains. As the trail narrows, with steeper pathways in a roller-coaster-like walkway, we spied scampering, cinnamon-colored, ground squirrels pausing to nibble mushrooms atop rocks, and viewed a lone hawk fleeing from a treetop. It takes about an hour leisurely stroll to hike the loop back to the parking lot. This is a no fee area now, then fees start again in May - September. Be sure to bring warm clothes for walks at this near 5800-foot elevation where it can get really cold when the winds pick up. Also bring water and snacks if you want to spend more time here, or explore the adjacent trails. Note that this volcanic attraction is off the beaten track, so you may find yourself on the “forest” trail with few others, especially mid-week, and off-season. For more details and weather/travel information, check the Deschutes National Forest website. For us, this is definitely a repeat destination, and worth the bumpy ride to the top!
