My sister and I were driving up forest road 4620 (past Indian Henry C.G.) and I saw a small body of water indicated on my map. I wanted to see if it was visible/accessible. It ended up being visible from the road. So I got out and tried to hiking down to the lake's edge, but the ground immediately off the side of the road was very squishy. I ended up just walking the section of road along where the lake was visible and tried to get a picture.

The entire "lake" was pretty marshy, especially the north end. Water wasn't even visible from this point. It was along the west side of the lake were I could see the water through the trees. I found the lake and surrounding foliage to be beautiful, even though I was only able to see it from the road. It made for a fun adventure.

Resources

I couldn't find any information about this lake online. It appears unnamed on every map layer I looked at.

How to get there (from Estacada, OR)

Take Hwy 224-E out of Estacada, OR for 21 miles. Turn right on FS 4620 and proceed for 6.5 miles. The lake is on the left (east) side of the road.
