Timothy Lake - Mt Hood, OR USA
Wind Conditions: Good Water Conditions: Excellent Launch facilities: Good Beach conditions: Good Traffic conditions: Excellent Safety: Excellent Charges: Free ramp & parking About the place: Directions: From Portland take HWY26 eastbound and head for Mt hood. About 10 miles after Government Camp take the Skyline Road exit and follow the signs to Timothy Lake. Takes about 1.5 hours from downtown Portland. Description of the lake: Breathtaking views of Mt Hood from the lake with great camping facilities. The best feature of the lake is that there's a 5mph speed limit on the lake that is regularly enforced by the county sheriff. As a result there are no water skiers, PWCs, jet boats or anything of the like. The winds are predictable from the west and pickup in the afternoons.
