Todd Lake

Todd Lake is the first lake you stumble upon on the Cascade Lakes Scenic High- way. The trail circles the lake and offers picture perfect views of Broken Top, but if  you want to see Mt. Bachelor, you need to scramble up the ridge along the backside of the lake. This lake is popular on the weekends so be sure to get there early as parking is very limited.

Get there: Take Hwy. 97 south to Bend, take exit 138 for Downtown/Mt. Bachelor. Turn right on Colorado and continue on to Century Dr., at MP 23 turn right and follow the signs to the parking area.
