Little Crater Lake Hike

Overview

Little Crater Lake , a lovely sapphire-hued artesian spring formed in a dissolving layer of siltstone, is only 250 yards from a trailhead via a universal access path. Those who are able to go farther can hike out through a lush meadow to the Pacific Crest Trail and then walk south for about a quarter of a mile to view more lush marshes where Crater Creek forms an arm of Timothy Lake , a reservoir created in 1956 to regulate water flow on the Oak Grove Fork of the Clackamas River. This is a popular walk for families with young children.
