Fourmile Lake Trailhead

Trailhead Status Update:

We are planning to reopen this popular rec site this July.

For everyone's safety, some remaining hazards from recent timber operations must first be addressed.

As soon as weather and road conditions allow, the Forest and Lake of the Woods resort will share personnel and equipment to evaluate conditions and complete pre-season preparations.

Please continue to visit this page for progress updates or call your local ranger district office.

Located approximately one hour northwest of Klamath Falls, Oregon, Fourmile Lake Trailhead offers access to a scenic 12 mile hiking loop around the lake. Spectacular views of Fourmile Lake and majestic Mount McLoughlin abound.
