This site is fairly popular with snowmobile enthusiasts, but parking is limited. Skiers may want to use the Gold Lake Sno-park instead and access Waldo Lake Road by skiing up Gold Lake Road to Gold Lake Trail. Two miles up Gold Lake Trail, Fuji Mountain Trail leads west to Waldo Lake Road. Waldo Lake Road is a shared snowmobile/ski route, but snowmobiles are not permitted on other nordic trails in this area. A fit and well-prepared skier may choose to travel approximately 8 miles out the road to the Betty Lake Trail, the Twins and the South Waldo Shelter (three-sided with a wood stove and wooden bed.) Facilities: * Vault toilet * Small parking lot
Waldo Lake Sno-park is located at the beginning of Waldo Lake Road (FS Rd 5897) 3.5 miles west of Willamette Pass and 23 miles east of Oakridge, OR at milepost 59 on Oregon Highway 58.
This is such a happy place for any nature and snow lover! I was dying to build a snowman, and there was enough snow to build 100 snowmen if I'd had the energy for it!
