'Trillium Lake' is a
lake situated roughly southwest of
Mount Hood in the
U.S. state of
Oregon. It is an artificial lake, created by the damming of Mud Creek.
[1] It was part of the
Barlow Road, a component of the
Oregon Trail. Closely spaced logs provided passing immigrants with access across marshes to Summit Meadow which was a tollgate from 1866-1870.
[2] The
trillium for which it is named is the Genus name for several species of a flower indigenous to the
Pacific Northwest and other
temperate climates.
The lake is popular for fishing and photography, often providing a good reflection of the mountain. Trillium Lake Campground is administered by the Zigzag Ranger District of the
Mount Hood National Forest.
