Clear Lake

🏞️ Swimming hole · near Santiam Pass (E of Eugene)
⚖️ Public swim spot Swimsuit-friendly 💧 Spring-fed lake 🗓️ Jun–Sep ☀︎ First-timer friendly

Know before you go

A spring-fed lake so clear you can see a 3,000-year-old submerged forest through the water. Rustic resort, rentals, cold swimming.

☀︎ First-timer tip: Some of the clearest water in Oregon. Rent a canoe to float over the sunken trees. Bracingly cold — swims are short and worth it.
