Briefly about the general area:
In the event that you don't mind getting soaked, you can always go whitewater paddling
on Metolius River; Box Canyon is another great place to stop at close by. If you came to camp Drift Campground is a perfect spot to do that, and why not stop at Box Canyon Dam if you're here. So much amusing stuff to do at Reservation Trail, so little time.
This lake is so
wonderful. A short tour to Beachkomb Spring is always worthwhile, and there's some flowing water nearby, Spring Creek is a stream you can explore during your stay. Man, is there lots of amusing stuff to do in the Central Cascade Range. Street Creek flows through this area. There's
so much to do here at Reservation Trail that you need to camp here for a while, Street Creek Boating Site and Campground is a tremendous site for that.
