The High Lakes Trail offers many opportunities, from a short hike along the Great Meadow to a 19 mile "out and back" mountain bike ride across the Cascade Crest between Fish Lake and Lake of the Woods. The compacted gravel surface is attractive for the hikers and cyclists through out its length, while the Lake of the Woods / Great Meadow section is level and accessible for person with disabilities.On the trail you will experience the harsh, yet beautiful lava flows of Brown Mountain and view the symmetrical shape of Mt. McLoughlin, the highest peak in the southern Oregon Cascades at 9,495 feet above sea level. Bald Eagle, Osprey, and a variety of other birds are common at both lakes. Botanical enthusiasts will especially like the wildflower display at the Great Meadow area in late spring and summer.
