Sno Park permit required November 1 - April 30.
From Sandy, OR - travel east on US Highway 26 to approximately 2.5 miles east of Timberline Road. Follow the signs to Trillium Lake.
We snoeshoed for our first time here!! Gorgeous hike, lots of snow when we were there! We did a loop that was about 4 miles.
First time snowshoeing. The lake looked beautiful, but remember to walk towards the campground if you're looking for the shorter loop.
The path is well traveled and honestly, snowshoes probably weren't necessary, just a good set of hiking boots might work.
Plenty of parking. We arrived around 11am on a Sunday and got a spot. Pick up a snow park pass on your way up the mountain.
First time here, I didn't realize it was going to be frozen over but that just made it more fun! Excited to see it again in the summer. Definitely more of a hike than we anticipated - bring snow shoes or skis if you have them during the winter months!
We went during a long weekend and the weather was beautiful and not a lot of crowd. You can enjoy kayaking and paddle boating or you can bring your own boat. The day pass was $10. The restrooms need a bit of help, it was dark with no lights and needs cleaning.
This place is perfect for a nice walk in the snow. There are two trails, a long hike and a smaller hike that over lap halfway. Our trip took is approximately 3 hours. Make sure to come early, we came at around 9am and the parking lot was nearly full, by the time we left at 1pm the parking lot was packed as well as both sides of the drive in lot. There was also a ling line winding down the highway waiting for ppl to leave.
