Tam-a-Lau Trail

Lake Billy Chinook, the meeting place of the Metolius, Crooked, and Deschutes Rivers, is not just for boaters & anglers. The 6 mile Tam-a-lau Trail takes you up to a plateau called The Peninsula and gives you views of the Deschutes & Crooked Rivers flowing into Lake Billy Chinook.

Get there: Take Hwy 97 north to Terrebonne. After you go through Terrebonne and cross the Crooked River Bridge and at MP 106, turn left at signs for Cove Palisades. Follow the signs for 5 miles to the entrance to the park.
