Timothy Lake is in the Mount Hood Wilderness of Oregon and is created by a man-made dam, which means the water levels are mostly consistent. The lake sits at a surface elevation of 3,227 feet and covers an area of 2.16 square miles. In the summer, the lake is a very popular destination for camping, boating, hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking. On Friday, June 19, 2026, here are some of the sights seen. https://www.nwhiker.com/MHNFHike75.html

Sometimes driving to the trailhead of a hike is just as entertaining as the hike itself. On this day, we stumbled upon Triangle Farms in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, where they are growing sweet pea flowers for their seeds, and saw acres of flowers in bloom.
