Elk Lake is a lake located along the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway, only at eleven miles passing Mount Bachelor in Central Oregon Cascade Mountains.
Relatively close to Bend, it is a 35 minute drive. In winter there is no other way to access the resort, but for the resort’s transportation or via your snowmobile and maybe by skiing for the most fit and daring ones. It is an 11 mi/17.70 km ski trip through some of the most breathtaking scenery of Central Oregon.
In the resort, you find 217 mi/350 km of attended trails for snowmobiles, ready to offer your piece of action or some wild rides on vertical ascents and descends. You should not miss visiting Canyon Lake, a lake beautifully shaped every year by ice crystals, a spectacle worth seeing, while being there. Regarding accommodation, you find a range of cabins in the resort, but you won’t have problems locating something else nearby.
