The following activities are in close proximity to Lemolo Lake/ Crater Lake North KOA:
Lemolo Lake/Crater Lake North KOA is located just 18 miles north of the North entrance to Crater Lake National Park. The unmatched beauty of this national park is a must see for any traveler through the region and is the only National Park in Oregon. The north entrance "typically" opens around June 1st of each year, but can fluctuate a few weeks either side of that date depending on snowfall in a given year. The North entrance closes on November 1st each year, unless snow fall closes it earlier. The website link for this section provides all the details on road conditions and other information you'll need before visiting Crater Lake National Park.
If the north entrance is not open when you visit the area, don't worry, the South entrance to the park is open YEAR ROUND and only adds about 45 minutes to your drive.
A local favorite and the tallest waterfall in the area at nearly 300 feet. This one is well worth the 15-minute hike from the parking area just off Highway 138. The trailhead is about 12 miles from the turnoff to our campground and is well marked along the highway with forest service signage. As one of the most popular waterfall hikes, quite a bit of parking is provided and it's configured so most large vehicles can get in and out.
The North Umpqua Trail (locally known as the NUT). This popular trail for mountain biking, hiking and ultra-running has been featured in outdoor magazines as one of the best trails on the west coast. The most popular segment, the "dread and terror section" is located ½ mile from our KOA. In fact, multiple mountain biking and ultra-running races have used our KOA as starting or finishing points. Come see what enthusiasts already know. Some of the best hiking and biking in the world is found just outside our KOA's doorstep.
The Pacific Crest Trail, is a famous hiking trail that extends through the U.S. from the Mexico border to the Canadian border. A connection to the trail is located just a few miles east of our KOA.
This fall has 2 separate hikes and viewpoints available. This description is for the Upper Falls Hike. The trailhead is across the Lemolo Lake Dam bridge and left along the canal about 1.5 miles from the campground.
The hike to the upper view of the falls is a beautiful hike along the North Umpqua Trail (& North Umpqua River). The hike is about 60-70 minutes each way from the trailhead. While the hike is beautiful, the view of the falls is not as spectacular as the lower falls view. This is viewed as a moderate hike in the difficulty spectrum. The parking area for the hike is for cars and trucks ONLY (NO RV's!).
That doesn't mean this area has to always be empty. When you start reviewing camping options, your history will display here to help compare sites and find the best stay. You will be able to share your stay information with friends or family and save it for a later time if you have a KOA Account.
