Hike Description
THIS HIKE IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT, DON'T TRUST ANYTHING YET!!!
The Timothy Lake Hike is a moderate length, relatively level hike around Timothy Lake, a reservoir for providing water during the summer to PGE dams on the Cackamas River.
On the South side of the lake are several campgrounds that fill up on summer weekends so this is definitely not a wilderness hike. On the North side it is more wild. There are a lot of boats on the lake, but speeds are limited to 10 MPH. The lake is formed by a dam on the Southwest corner of the lake.
The hike is arbitrarily defined as starting at the dam and going counter-clockwise but you could start at many points.
A good option is to camp at one of the campgrounds and do the hike as a day hike. The campgrounds are Pine Point, Hood View, Gone Creek, and Oak Fork. Nearby are Clackamas Lake, Joe Graham (horse camp), and Little Crater Lake. There is another primitive campground on the North side. You can make reservations at recreation.gov
