No Name Lake in Central Oregon
No Name Lake is a beloved spot for locals, and once you witness the jewel-like blue-green water and its surrounding beauty, it’s easy to see why. The trail leading up to the lake might be lengthy but has a mild elevation gain. However, the final scramble through the creek bed marks this trek as moderate rather than easy. Most of this hike does not have tree cover, so make sure that you come prepared with hats and sunscreen – and bring insect repellent if visiting in the summer months! In the Bend/Sunriver area in July? You’ll also get to feast your eyes on wonderful wildflowers adorning No Name Lake!
