| orientationDescription |
Shadow Bay Campground is located on a large bay at the south end of Waldo Lake. It is considerably more wet than either North Waldo or Islet Campground, supporting a more diverse and prolific ground cover, and also more mosquitos. Waldo Lake spans 6,240 acres and boasts nice sandy beaches. The lake lies in the Willamette National Forest, which stretches 110 miles along the western slopes of the Cascade Range. |
| recreationDescription |
Waldo Lake is circled by the Jim Weaver Loop, a 20-mile hiking and biking trail. The Shoreline Trail lines the lakeside of the campground and takes hikers and bikers to a network of other trails. From there, hikers can continue into the Waldo Lake Wilderness, but mountain bikers are not allowed in that section. The lake offers boating, swimming and fishing. Anglers enjoy catching brook and rainbow trout. A boat ramp is located on-site. |
