CAMPGROUNDS By Name By District By Location     Horse Camps RESERVATION INFO

SEASON: May to October

ACCESS: From Crescent, 12.2 miles west on Rd. 61, then 9.1 miles north and west on Hwy. 58

DESCRIPTION: Vegetation at Odell Lake is dominated by large Douglas fir, white fir, spruce, and hemlock typical of vegetation on the west side of the Cascades. This vegetation is present because the climate is more like that on the west side. Due to its orientation and location adjacent to Willamette Pass, winds can be quite brisk on Odell Lake and whitecaps occasionally form. The wind makes the lake a prime candidate for sailing and windsurfing in addition to its main attraction as a great lake to fish.

ELEVATION: 4800 feet

FACILITIES: Campground has no water at this time, may in the future. Refuse bins are located in the campground, and garbage is picked up once each week.
