Description

Added by Mariya Dondonyan

A 10-mile trail circumnavigates scenic Odell Lake. Fresh-water fishing can be done at the lake with bait and tackle at the lake's lodge.

This spot in central Oregon is a beautiful, natural lake where you can combine a nice hike with an afternoon of fishing. There are opportunities for multiple hikes surrounding the lake that are moderately challenging hikes and also remain scenic throughout the 10 mile trek around the lake.

Relax after the hike down by the lake, fish, and enjoy the fresh air for a perfect afternoon.

I’ve been coming to Odell Lake to camp, fish and XC Skii since my parents started bringing me as a little kid! There are lakeside tent sites, rooms in the lodge or full cabins to choose from at several price points. They have clean restrooms, a cute gift shop, lounge areas indoors and outdoors, and a restaurant with AMAZING berry cobbler! While its not as large as other winter lodges like Hoodoo or Willamette Pass, it has so much more charm. It gives you a cozy village feel without feeling too close to your neighbors. So much to do here at the lake, the lodge, the trails etc. The enthusiastic and helpful service at the lodge is the cherry on top!

Beatuiful lake to go experience in whatever way you choose. Not sure what 10 mile trail they're talking about.

This app doesn’t have Crescent Lake as a destination, but it’s just past Odell Lake and a definite must see! There are yurts for rent at $40/night and the lake is crystal clear. My family went camping here and we had so much fun snorkeling and lounging on the beach, then roasting s’mores around the campfire at night. The yurts were clean and had sleeping accommodations for 5. there were toilets available, but no showers. There are cabins, tent spaces or yurts to choose from with a lodge you can buy any forgotten items.
