Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway - Oregon
Fremont-Winema National Forest, OR

Fremont-Winema National Forest offers miles of hiking trails and recreation opportunities including: fishing, skiing, boating and swimming areas. Trout, sockeye salmon and large mouth bass are plentiful in the lakes and streams of the forest.

In the winter cross-country skiing and snowmobiling are popular past times. The forest borders Crater Lake National Park near the crest of the Cascades and stretches eastward into the Klamath River Basin.

Near the floor of the basin, the forest gives way to vast marshes and meadows associated with upper Klamath Lake and the Williamson River drainage. To the north and east extensive stands of ponderosa and lodgepole pine grow on deep pumice and ash which blanketed the area during the eruption of Mt. Mazama (now Crater Lake) nearly 7,000 years ago.
