Here are some reccommended hikes to enjoy in the Olallie Lake Scenic Area. Please pick up a map at the resort store.
Averill Lake
Red Lake Trail
One day trip or backpack
Distance: 3.8 miles one way from Olallie Lake Resort
Elevation gain: 290 feet
High point: 5,240 feet
Allow 2 hours one way
Occasional distant views of Mt. Hood, Mt. Jefferson, and Olallie Butte
This trail can get a little rocky and rutted. Wear good boots.
Fish Lake
Half day trip or backpack
Distance: 1.6 miles one way from Lower Lake
Elevation Loss: 550 feet
High point: 4,850
Allow 1 hour one way
Beautiful view of Mt. Hood with Fish Lake way below. Lower Lake is on the way
The descent into Fish Lake, after the view above, at the end of this trail is fairly steep and several large logs are down over the trail at this section which need to be climbed over.
Double Peaks
One day trip or backpack
Distance: 2 miles from PCT trailhead off 4220 to top of Double Peaks
Elevation Gain: 1000 feet
High point: 5,998 feet
Allow 2 hours one way
Great View! From Double Peaks you can see Mt. Jefferson, Mt. Hood, Eastern Oregon, and much more! Even if you don't go up Double Peaks, Cigar Lake alone is worth the hike!
The trail up the east side of the peaks is very steep and now in poor repair. So... to find the trail to the top of the peaks find the trail that runs right along the south side of Cigar Lake. Follow that trail to the north side of the Peaks and around to the back side (west side) and up the peak.
Jefferson Park
2 day trip
Distance: 11.5 miles from Olallie Lake Resort
Pacific Crest Trail
Much elevation gain and loss due to climbing several ridges and back down. Park Ridge is over 7100 feet.
Make sure you fill out a Wilderness Permit at the entrance to the wilderness area. Jeff Park is beautiful!
Olallie Butte
The trailhead marker to the Olallie Butte trail has been taken down by the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. The majority of the trail is located on the reservation. They wish to discourage hiking on Olallie Butte, but it has not been officially closed. However, according to the rules and regulations of the Warm Spring Indian Reservation, you cannot hike on their land unless you are hiking to a lake for the purpose of fishing, and to fish on their land you must have a Warm Springs fishing permit. (As a note there are no lakes up on the Butte)
However, since the trailhead marker was removed, there have been no known fines to hikers, and hikers have continued to hike the trail at their own risk.
Other trails would include Monon Lake Trail, Horseshoe Saddle Trail, Gibson Lake Trail, Dark Lake Trail, Lodge Pole Trail, Brook Lake Trail, and Potato Butte Trail.
