Hyatt Lake
Situated high in the Cascade Mountains and surrounded by towering firs and pines, the Hyatt Lake Recreation Area can be found in the northern section of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument on the picturesque shores of Hyatt Lake. At an elevation slightly over 5,000 feet, this 745-acre area offers various summertime activities such as camping, picnicking, hiking, horseback riding, biking, fishing, swimming, and boating. The lake boasts stunning views of Mt. McLoughlin and is an ideal basecamp for accessing the Monument and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail.
Fishing
Hyatt Lake has a speed limit of 10 mph, prohibiting wakes. In the spring and summer, the lake is ideal for fishing, with plentiful lake trout and smallmouth bass. Visitors can also enjoy hiking, swimming, horseshoes, and a sand volleyball court. The campground provides convenient access to the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail.
Horseback Riding
Willowdale Ranch, a historic landmark, is situated in the shadow of Mt. McLoughlin at the entrance to the Highland Lakes in the Oregon Cascade Mountains. They provide guided trail and range riding, hiking, camping, equine therapy, riding lessons, and ample opportunities for stargazing. Additionally, the Highland Lakes Center offers educational retreats.
Hiking
The Hyatt Lake Recreation Area is crisscrossed with hiking trails. The Pacific Crest Trail runs right through the area within a mile of the Resort. Numerous other trailheads dot the area. Take a day hike, spend just a few hours enjoying the outdoors, or stop by the Resort for a rest from your PCT trek.

Winter Wonderland
The Hyatt Lake Recreation Area is a phenomenal place to visit in the winter. Sit in one of our hot tubs and watch the snow fall. Or get out there and snowshoe, cross-country ski, or ride a snowmobile. The Table Mountain Snow Park, just two miles from the Resort, offers a fantastic sled run and warming shelter. Enjoy some hot chocolate and comfort food at our restaurant after your day in the snow.
