places to run: three creeks lake, or

Discovered a new place to make home base and run this weekend.

High up in the Cascades, about 20 miles outside of Sisters, Oregon, sits Three Creeks Lake, a beautiful alpine oasis under the Tam McArthur Ridge. Trails traverse the area, providing opportunity to climb, explore and discover the breathtaking beauty of Central Oregon and the Three Sisters wilderness.  

I was hiking with my family so I did not have the opportunity to fully explore the area, but what I found left me wishing for more.


The lake was full of toads and hatchlings - the kids could scoop them up with their hands.





The campground: Three Creeks Lake

Potential runs/hikes:
Tam McArthur Rim
Park Meadow & Golden Lake
Squaw Creek
Golden Lake & Tarns
Metolius Windigo Trail

  1. I have a love/hate relationship with your blog posts. I love reading them and viewing the photos, but they make me homesick. LOL :-)

    Seriously though, thanks for posting and writing about your running around Oregon. Keep up the great work.
