Sparks Lake

Camped at Sparks Lake in early August. Bit of a rough road getting in, but do-able. We turned into the first campsite we found on the right. Mid 40s at night and nice and warm during the day. We were on a little point and caught a nice breeze esp in the afternoons. Mosquitos were only a problem in the woods and when the wind died down, and even then they weren't that bad. Really a beautiful spot!

One of our favorite lakes to go to! Beautiful and plenty of places to picnic and chill.

Sparks Lake is a kayaker's dream, especially for those with young children. The shallow waters are perfect for splashing and wading. The sandy bottom makes it comfortable for little ones to explore. The water's clarity is remarkable; you can see straight to the bottom, though fish seem to be elusive in these pristine waters. Despite the refreshing chill of the water, the mid-80s weather made for a perfect day on the lake. The stunning views of Mount Bachelor, a popular ski resort, provided a breathtaking backdrop for our kayaking adventure. You can pack a picnic lunch and enjoy a leisurely day on the water, encountering friendly people kayaking, paddleboarding, and enjoying other non-motorized activities. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, making Sparks Lake an unforgettable experience.
