About This Adventure Destination

Clear Lake, located in the heart of Oregon, is a stunning natural wonder perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. Known for its incredibly clear waters, this lake is one of the most pristine in the United States. Formed over 3,000 years ago by lava flows, Clear Lake retains cold, crystal-clear water year-round, fed by underground springs. Surrounded by lush, evergreen forests, it offers visitors a tranquil escape into nature.

Unique to this lake is the submerged forest, where ancient trees can still be seen standing upright beneath the water due to the cold preserving temperatures. Spectacular views and a peaceful ambiance make Clear Lake a stand-out destination for nature lovers. The region is also rich in history, known to the Native American tribes long before becoming a hidden gem to adventurers today.

In addition to kayaking and paddleboarding, visitors can enjoy fishing, hiking, and camping amidst the breathtaking landscapes. Renowned for its biodiversity, the area is home to a variety of flora and fauna, offering an intimate connection with nature.
