Detroit Lake First Day Hike

  • Join us for a 1.5-mile hike along the east-side Camp Perimeter Trail, where you'll enjoy scenic views of the lake, a temperate rainforest, and Mt. Jefferson. A park ranger will be on hand to discuss cultural, historical, and ecological topics during the hike, making the experience even more enriching.
  • Registration required.
  • The hike begins at 10:30 a.m. at the viewing deck located to the right of the Visitors Center, just behind the Old Tree Ring cutout. There is a parking area in front of the Visitors Center, and additional parking will be available in the E-loop if needed.
  • The trail consists of dirt, wood chips, and gravel, and is generally even. If necessary, we can switch to the adjacent park road, which is suitable for strollers, wheelchairs, and those with mobility issues. This hike is not strenuous. We will be making stops to observe various points of interest along the trail and can include additional stops for anyone who needs them.
  • Friendly dogs are welcome on six-foot leashes. No smoking.
  • Participants should dress in layers, wear sturdy shoes suitable for ice and snow, bring water and snacks, use hand warmers for warmth, and carry a camera or binoculars for wildlife viewing.
  • For more information, call 503-854-3766.
