Hyatt Lake

  • Hyatt lake is located 20 miles east of Ashland, Oregon in the Cascade Mountains. The drive to the lake is absolutely breathtaking, and it worth the twist and turns!
  • Hyatt offers Camping, Hiking, Fishing and Boating. The lake has a 10mph No Wake Rule. Which makes it perfect for kayaking!

  • Fishing permits and other boating licenses are required, as well as life jackets if on the water.
  • While we were there we caught small mouth bass and trout!

  • Hyatt lake not only offers site camping (reservation only) they also offer horse campsite complete with pens for the horses!
  • There are only two pens per campsite, so plan accordingly if you are bringing more then two horses. (We used the campsites pens that were located next to ours in order to accommodate everyone’s horses).

    Located less then a mile from Hyatt Lake is Little Hyatt reservoir! This reservoir offers everything the Hyatt lake does expect on a smaller scale. It also offers a man made waterfall and expansive hiking and horse back riding trails!

Hyatt and Little Hyatt are two bodies of water you won’t want to miss out on! Sitting at 5,200 feet in elevation, with expansive views of the cascades and the cooler climate to escape the heat of the summer. Make sure to add this destination to your summer plans!
