Mallard Marsh Campground

Mallard Marsh Campground is located along the reed-lined shores of Hosmer Lake, a popular destination for fly-fishing, paddling and birding. Hosmer is a fly-fishing-only lake, well known for its breath taking views of Mt. Bachelor, South Sisters and Broken Top, as well as wildlife viewing and the big Atlantic salmon, brook trout and rainbows that are quite visible in this shallow clear lake. At the north end of the lake, water drains into a porous rim of lava. The best way to experience the lake is by canoe or kayak, as shore access is limited due to marshy vegetation. There are also trails and other opportunities for hiking and horseback riding nearby. This facility has vault toilets, and each site is equipped with a picnic table and fire pit with grill. Please note campers will need to bring their own water supply. Visitors enjoy traveling the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway, which climbs 66 miles through the Cascade Range, weaving past snow-capped peaks and alpine lakes.
