July. This is just one of a large number of great outdoors hiking trails in this region. Now, this is roughly a 3.5-day walk, so better have big backpack to fit all the stuff you need. There are two trailheads to chose from, one in each end, so backcountry trekking it one way is
an option if you can arrange for a ride back. Summertime brings highs in the 80's to Twin Lakes Trail, and through the night it cools down to the 40's. For the period of the winter highs are in the 40's, and night lows in the 30's for Twin Lakes Trail. Backcountry hiking in Oregon

Briefly about the general area:
And if that's not sufficient there's heaps more amusing things to do in the Central Cascade Range. Charcoal Point is close to Twin Lakes Trail and is
a wonderful spot to have a look at; River View RV Park is a great campground nearby. Just can't get enough of the Central Cascade Range. If you come at the right time of year, Copland Creek offers some pleasant whitewater, and Deception Creek is one of the streams close by that
might be worth going to.
There's a great forest near Twin Lakes Trail called Umpqua National Forest, and a great site like Hole in the Ground here at Twin Lakes Trail is too delightful to miss. Big Twin Lakes Campground is a pleasant local campground It's always fine to explore
Cinderella Spring. That right there is heaps already, but it keeps on going; Twin Lakes Trail has it all. Dark Canyon is a great site to explore, and Deer Lick Falls is a great local attraction.
There's some flowing water close by, Twin Lake Creek is a stream you can stop by
while you're here. Sheep Prairie is right here at Twin Lakes Trail, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Steamboat Creek.
