Elk Lake is a natural body of water in the central Cascade Range in the U.S. state of Oregon. Nearly Шаблон:Convert above sea level, the lake is part of a volcanic landscape about Шаблон:Convert west-southwest of Bend along the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway.[1]

Elk Lake is about Шаблон:Convert west of Mount Bachelor in Deschutes National Forest. Nearby lakes include Hosmer, Sparks, Blow, Doris, Devils, Lava, and Little Lava.[2]

Heavily used for recreation, the lake is among the most popular of the Cascade Lakes.[1] Its name stems from the large number of elk that formerly frequented the area in summer.[1] During winter, Elk Lake freezes, and access roads are usually closed by snow until late May.[1]

Recreation

The United States Forest Service manages campgrounds, boat launches, and picnic sites at various locations around the lake, also served by a private resort with cabins.[1] Lake activities include sailing, fishing, swimming, and windsurfing.[3]

The lake supports populations of brook trout generally ranging from Шаблон:Convert and kokanee averaging Шаблон:Convert.[3] Hiking trails leading to other high-elevation lake groups, such as those in the Mink Lake basin, begin at Elk Lake.[1]
