We booked two kayaks for $50 each for a three hour self-guided tour on the canoe trail of Klamath lake. This was the best deal we could find in the area, and it was well worth it. We had so much fun, and the rental equipment was of good quality. Just remember to bring sunscreen and water. We booked our tour the day of and it worked out, but I would recommend booking in advance. This is a small operation, and we felt terrible that they had to get our rentals ready with such short notice. They did everything perfectly, from communication to the meeting spot to punctuality, but please don't do what we did and book in advance if possible!

Our waitress was very sweet and did a great job making sure we had everything we needed. The food was good- buffet style- 2 types of turkey, prime rib, ham, twice baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, Mac-n-cheese, shrimp, stuffed mushrooms, Brussels sprouts etc. All the food was warm/hot well stocked and buffet area was well maintained. The desserts had a lot of great options including the pumpkin pie which was delicious. I would recommend checking out Lake of the Woods. We have also been there in the summer months and parked the boat on the dock to run in for popsicles and refreshments. Great place to hang out as a family.

First and foremost, Marshal and Suzie are fantastic hosts. They are very knowledgeable about the critters that frequent the ranch and will happily assist with the best spots and methods to bird watch or fish. Marshal is most willing to share the specifics of fishing gear, flies to use and techniques to fish these waters. Suzie is very responsive to whatever you might need at the cabin and keeps them in a condition that makes you think she is expecting a best friend to come visit. In short, these two love what the do and it shows! Second, the cabin we stayed at is super cool and rustic yet very comfortable and equipped with all that you need. There are games, books and fun antiques to check out. Just bring your food and drinks and you'll be set. The cabin is perfectly situated with an unobstructed view of the river. The front porch is a perfect place to relax. Watch the fish rolling on the surface of the water or (if you sit still) the birds coming and going from the bird houses mounted on the front of the cabin or out in the lawn. Finally, the setting is just what you would expect from a top-shelf lodge. The aspens and evergreens are abundant with lots of places to wander about, bird watch or just lay back and watch the clouds pass overhead. We celebrated my 60th birthday at Lonesome Duck. It was a fantastic experience and we strongly recommend it to anyone looking for this type of getaway.

$$$ Saving Tip: Be sure to book this property direct instead of through a third party site…read more Awesome centralized place to spend your southern Oregon experience! Close enough to highway to make getting there (Medford airport is an hour and a half drive), and other places in southern and central Oregon easy, yet, far enough off the main highway, about a mile on a gravel road, for seclusion and that "out in the woods" feeling. Crater Lake is 30 minutes away. The Lava Caves south of Klamath Falls (worth the trip) are only an hour. Great wine tasting in Ashland is a little more than an hour and a half. Head north to Bend and the higher elevations for a day trip. Any direction you go you will be in the middle of some of the most breathtaking scenery you can imagine. Or you can just hang out on the ranch for some of the best fishing, canoeing, kayaking, or hiking you could ask for. There is also a really great outdoor logging museum and small gauge railroad just minutes from the ranch. Stargazing at night on the ranch is spectacular with light pollution at a minimum. The cabin itself is perfect. Just a hundred feet from the river, it has tasteful rustic decor, comfortable furnishings (beds are great), and all that you need to cook indoors or grill outdoors. Be sure to do your grocery shopping in Medford or Klamath as there is only a convenience store at the gas station down the road. The little town of Chiloquin has very few shopping/eating amenities. Lots of windows facing the river in case you get tired of sitting on the porch (which we never did). Be ready to see lots of birds (ducks included), river otters, beaver and if you stand in the water early in the morning or at dusk you will catch a glimpse of native trout and bass. We saw deer on our three morning walks and on all of our road trips off the ranch. Finally, you couldn't ask for a better host than Steve. From the time you "check-in" (he actually just meets you at your cabin to say hello and walk you through), to the cordial check-out (again he will come to you), he will take care of any of your needs or just leave you to enjoy your "home" and awesome surroundings. We highly recommend spending some time with your family on the ranch and in one of their cabins. We will definitely be going back,

We visited the park and stayed at the cabins Jun 19 -20 and they got five inches of snow the night we left. There is not much to do in the park after dark and not really anything to do in the cabins so bring books and cards, because there is no cell service. You can almost drive all the way fully around the whole lake but there are closures happening so you won't be able to go all the way around. Food is very limited and not good, so bring your own! There is NO CELL SERVICE on most of the volcano. However, there is Wifi at the Mazama Store. I was able to sit in my car (once connected inside) and use the wifi for the apps that it would allow over WIFI. It is not a secure network either. You will need to drive to most all of the sites and activities at the park. If the park activities are open for the season, you will probably have about two fulls days worth of activities to do. However, in off season, a day visit is plenty to take in the sites.

They have really cute little trolley tours and gift shop was nice; we spent more here than we usually do. We made the trek around the rim and there are lots of great photo ops and interesting things to see.

We were here visiting family and had already planned a trip to Crater Lake. Even though it wasn't raging and spectacular it's a neat place to stop and check out this unnatural event. Since there hadn't been rain in awhile it was pretty mild (see pics), but if you can time it right and there has been rain for a few (or more) days it becomes much more glorious. Nice little stop area that is kept clean and has a couple nice vantage points for viewing. If you're in the area this should make your list of nature oriented things to do, especially if you are already heading up the North Umpqua for a day of site seeing.

August 31, 2025 - Tiller, Oregon…read more The road to the waterfall is a 4-mile drive on a narrow Forest Service Road (NF 6530) off of OR-230. There is a sign that directs you to the small parking lot. From the parking lot, reaching the waterfall is an easy half-mile walk through the forest, with a few switchbacks along the way. The trail is well cared for, dogs are welcome on leash, and the peaceful beauty of the woods made the journey every bit as rewarding as the falls. Although, we had been warned about the mosquitos in the area, they were not an issue at all when we were there. Well worth the slight detour on your way to Crater Lake, Diamond Lake or the Rogue River Gorge.

The dam produces electricity by hydropower for the area. The first turnoff is to the campground and the second to the Day Use area and boat ramps. The day use has parking, a playground, picnic area, and pavilion. The park host is near the day use area, as well as The Chief Miwaleta Campground provides cabins for rental, a tent camping and 20 full hookups and 11 non-hookups and 1 group site for RVs. There are two boat ramps (one with two lanes and one primitive ramp) with parking for the reservoir and is a popular area for fishing. Though, the reservoir has a higher-than-allowed level of mercury as described by the Clean Water Act. The cause may be several historic mining claims above the reservoir exist, such as the Red Cloud Mine, which was established to extract mercury from veins of cinnabar. There is information on and recommendations for eating fish on the Oregon.gov website. I do recommend going to the Galesville Reservoir, either for camping or just using the day use area. It's a beautiful place to spend the day or longer.
