During the winter, Odell Lake and the surrounding forest transform into an absolute wonderland. You’ll find ample opportunities for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling. But if downhill skiing is hands-down your favorite, you don’t want to miss Willamette Pass Resort. With an average annual snowfall of 430 inches and five lifts to help you enjoy it, you’ll find that, here, the fun doesn’t end when our fishing season does.

Willamette National Forrest has some of the PNWs most picturesque waterfalls. And you can see one of them without a particularly long hike. With 286 feet of vertical drop, Salt Creek Falls is Oregon’s second highest single drop waterfall. And with two different routes—a 50-yard loop or a 250-yard loop—and lots of raised walkways, you can take in the wonder of this waterfall without taking much time out of your day.

Explore a winter wonderland at Gold Lake Sno-Park! With scenic trails winding through snow-covered forests, it’s a great destination for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and enjoying the peaceful beauty of the Cascades.
