| Description: 3600-foot elevation. 57 campsites, including several tent-only sites & five double sites, which can accomodate up to 12 people each. Fishing & canoeing in Trillium Lake. Several unimproved roads in the area are great for mountain biking or hiking, & lead variously to the edge of the Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness & to the Wild & Scenic Salmon River.
In the winter, the Trillium Lake basin has a complex system of roads which are left unplowed for nordic skiing. They have been groomed in past years; a donation is requested at a box near the road. The trails range from a fairly flat loop around the lake to spurs of varying length & difficulty. One spur, out Sherar Burn Road, is closed to snow machines from January one of each year. This is a popular area that receives a lot of use. A sledding hill is across the street at Snow Bunny Sno-Park, & there are additional trails there. A Sno-Park permit is required to park at either location in the winter.
Location: From Sandy, go 28 miles east on US 26 & about two miles south on Forest Road 2650 & FR 2656.
