    Canoe Camp Closed Due to "Vandalism, Transience, and Non-Payment"

    The money generated from paying campers does not equal the cost to maintain and repair the damage caused by a few scumbags. It can be difficult to "evict" non-paying tenants. This is the county's solution; turn it in to a day use park with the ability to reserve the whole park for large groups.

Campsites can be difficult to obtain during the busy season, but you may have luck when you are in the area. The...

    New Canoe Enthusiast Ready to Learn and Share!

    Welcome! Waldo lake in Oregon is a must see. Ross/Diablo Lakes in the North Cascaes are great as well but as @ppine states, it can be dangerous. I have capsized in a windstorm on Ross.
