Natural Features

Hyatt Lake is located 20 miles east of Ashland in Oregon's beautiful Cascade Mountains. At 5,200 feet in elevation, Hyatt Lake offers a cool respite from the summer heat and also serves as a gateway for winter recreation enthusiasts. Hyatt Lake is located inside the boundary of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument. The Monument was established in recognition of its remarkable ecology and to protect a diverse range of biological, geological, aquatic, archaeological, and historic objects.

Recreation

Other recreation activities are available including hiking, swimming, horseshoes and a sand volleyball court.

Although the campground is closed during winter months, great winter activities are available such as cross-country skiing, sledding and snowshoeing.
