Few People Know About This Oregon Lake That Comes And Goes
There is more than one lake called Lost Lake in Oregon, but this one really lives up to its name. This lake, which is not far from the town of Sisters in the heart of the Cascade Mountains, actually appears and disappears each year. It’s curious and interesting, and it’s certainly worth a visit. You’re going to love learning about this mysterious lake in Oregon. Read on to learn more about it, and why it comes and goes!
There are times when Lost Lake covers 79 acres. During the rainy parts of the year, this lake is big and wet.
Geologists believe that the hole leads to a lava tube that formed during a period of intense volcanic activity around 12,000 years ago. It collapsed at some point and connected above and below.
This area is a spectacular one for camping and hiking. Depending on what time of the year you visit, you may or may not be able to see the lake. Or the hole.
Maybe go back a few times to see how it looks in different seasons? The whole thing is pretty amazing. Enjoy!
Lost Lake is certainly an interesting Oregon natural wonder! Plan a trip there soon – and then another one in six months – and see how different it looks each time.
One important thing to remember, though: PLEASE don’t try to block the hole with anything. It won’t work, and it just creates more work for the hardworking folks at the Oregon Department of Forestry. It’s VERY hard to get debris out of there. Just look, enjoy, and leave it alone!
