Shadow Bay
Hosted by USDA Forest Service
New listing
Shadow Bay Campground rests on the shores of Waldo Lake in a forest of towering conifers. This large recreation area provides plenty of things to see and do, like sailing, canoeing, fishing and swimming. Waldo Lake is circled by the Jim Weaver Loop, a 22-mile hiking and biking trail. The Shoreline Trail lines the lakeside of the campground and takes hikers and bikers to a network of other trails; from there, hikers can continue into the Waldo Lake Wilderness, though mountain bikers are not allowed in Wilderness. The lake offers boating and swimming, and a boat ramp is on-site. This 92 site campground is less busy than its neighboring campground, North Waldo, resulting in a quieter atmosphere. Garbage containers and gray water disposal areas are available. Shadow Bay sits on a large bay at the south end of Waldo Lake. It is considerably wetter than either North Waldo or Islet Campground, supporting a more diverse and prolific ground cover, and also more mosquitos. Situated high on the western slopes of the Oregon Cascades at 5,400 feet in elevation, 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 in for plant growth, and the resulting lack of plant life contributes to its purity, allowing you to see to depths of 120 feet on a calm day. Explore the lake and surrounding trails for views of the snow-capped North, Middle and South Sisters, three of the seven major peaks in Willamette National Forest.
