Just 6 miles from the Lodge is Wizard Falls Hatchery, where rainbow trout, Kokanee salmon, spring Chinook and summer steelhead are raised. See the fish in different stages of development, and bring your quarters to feed the fish in the settling pond. Group tours are available with a reservation. The river here is a spectacular icy turquoise. Be sure to stroll one of the riverside trails.

From the lodge, you’re minutes from the pristine waters of the Metolius River, a fly fishing mecca. If convenience is what you’re after, our one-acre fishing pond is teeming with rainbow trout and crayfish. Kids under 12 can fish with hooks and lures. New to fishing? No problem. We offer lessons.

Lake Creek Trail
Pick up Lake Creek Trail less than a mile north of the Lodge. Walk, mountain bike or run the 8.8-mile out-and-back trail in reverse. Beautiful Suttle Lake makes the perfect pit stop at the halfway point. Find restrooms and the lodge and Boathouse restaurant there as well. The route is quiet and considered fairly easy—perfect for a soundscape walk and birdwatching.
