North Waldo
Hosted by USDA Forest Service
New listing
Waldo Lake is one of the largest natural lakes in Oregon. It offers a uniquely peaceful setting on the water and along remote shorelines, surrounded by forests of Douglas fir and mountain hemlock, and it is an ideal location for water activities like sailing, canoeing and swimming. Waldo Lake is circled by the Jim Weaver Loop, 20 miles of trail for hiking and biking. Bikes are allowed on the trails but not in the nearby Waldo Lake Wilderness. There is easy access to the Pacific Crest Trail, and North Waldo is a popular starting point for many wilderness trails and lakes, most notably Rigdon, Wahanna and Torrey Lakes. A 1-mile Shoreline Trail between North Waldo Campground and Islet Campground provides a short and pleasant hike along the lakeshore. North Waldo is the most popular of the Waldo Lake campgrounds. There are 58 sites with fire rings and tables, 34 of them reservable. The boat launch is somewhat deeper than the others on the lake, which is more accommodating for large sailboats. The drier environment supports fewer mosquitoes, but they are still plentiful in season. Situated high on the western slopes of the Oregon Cascades at 5,400 feet, Waldo Lake is one of the purest lakes in Oregon — 9.8 square miles with a maximum depth of 427 feet. It has no permanent inlet to bring nutrients into the lake for plant growth, and the lack of plant life contributes to its purity, allowing you to see to depths of 120 feet on a calm day.
