| Description: 4800-foot elevation. 32 campsites on Odell Lake. Fishing for kokanee salmon, lake trout, rainbow trout, whitefish, & bull trout. Afternoons can get quite windy on the lake, which is dangerous for boaters, but great for sailing & windsurfing. One trail from the campground heads south to Yoran Lake in the Oregon Cascades Recreation Area, & another leads all the way through the roadless area to Crescent Lake. Just west of the campground, you can pick up the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which goes north into the Diamond Peak Wilderness & south into the recreation area. Huckleberry picking is good on this side of the lake.
There are about six miles of groomed cross country ski trails here in the winter.
Location: From Crescent, go about 12 miles west on County Road 61, ten miles north on OR 58, then two miles south on Forest Road 5810.
Season: May - October.
