Headwaters Loop Hike

Overview

This easy loop takes the hiker through old-growth forest (and small patches of regenerating clearcuts as well) to encounter lush meadows and the pristine spring-fed pools at Clackamas Lake . You’ll also cross the Oak Grove Fork of the Clackamas River at Timothy Lake , a PGE-owned recreational reservoir created in 1956. Also included in this hike is a side visit to the Clackamas Lake Ranger Station , a Civilian Conservation Corps project that is now a historic district.
