A Scenic Drive
Last weekend I took an afternoon drive to Elk Lake off of the Cascade Lakes Highway. I recommend this drive to anyone visiting the Bend Oregon area in the summer months. The road is closed at Mt. Bachelor in the winter months.
The highway lakes offer fishing, boating, water skiing, and swimming. There are many lakes between Mt. bachelor and HWY 58 at the end of the Cascade Lakes HWY. Todd lake is the first. It's a small mountain lake a short hike from the parking area. Other small lakes include Sparks Lake, Devils Lake, Lava Lake, and Hosmer Lake. The bigger lakes include Elk Lake, Cultus Lake, Crane Prairie Reservoir and Wickiup Reservoir.
Here are a few photos that I took from our drive.

I found this great guide to the Cascade Lakes HWY offering information about all of the scenic stops. Visit http://gorp.away.com/gorp/activity/byway/or_casca.htm for more.
