Wallowa Lake is one of the most beautiful places to go to at any time of the year. The drive up there (from La Grande) in the Fall rivals anything in New England as far as Fall colour is concerned!As I love the history of Eastern Oregon this wonderful place supplied lots. The gravesite of Chief Joseph (Nez Perce tribe) is both sad when you think of his life and how he died, yet very touching to know you're standing right alongside deep history and admiration for Chief Joseph.The surrounding areas cater to almost every taste, from horseback riders and wonderful horse trails, the watersport enthusiasts, hiking enthusiasts, OktoberFest enthusiasts and lay back and enjoy enthusiasts! Can't be missed. Truly.
Large sandy/rocky beach at the north (town end) of lake and big park and beach at south (resort) end. Lake level changes with the seasons and was getting low in August.
Beautiful country. We rode the tram to the top of the mountain and waited for the fog to clear. It never did! We were disappointed, but will just have to plan to go back again.
We enjoyed a day at Wallowa Lake. We took the tram up to the top (a little pricey $26 per person); ate ice cream. There was a cute mini golf course that we played. took paddle boats on the lake. You can ride horses and go-carts. Lots of hiking areas.
We enjoyed this loop drive. Having not spent much time in this part of the state it was well worth it.
I hesitated to write this. It is so beautiful I am not sure I want any more people to discover it. The drive to the lake is heavenly and the gondola ride is worth the money.
Lots to do, very commercialized, but quaint and relaxing at the same time! We took the Tram up the Mountain, doesn't get any batter than that!!
Water and surroundings a great family adventure. Clear blue water. Awesome place for picnics or fishing.
Nice lake with big beach. Beautiful water lots of things to do, tent lots are a little cozy with neighbors but okay for the most part. Lots of dining and the ride up the mountain is majestic.
Wallowa Lake is a stunningly beautiful jewel of a lake, and should not be missed when visiting north east Oregon. It's located in the Wallowa Mountains, known as the Little Alps Of America, about two miles from the picturesque town of Joseph. The lake is approximately 5 miles long, and 3 miles wide. An access highway runs along one side of the lake, and ends at a beautiful park with camping available, rental cabins, and a restaurant, and the venerable Wallowa Lake Lodge. You may even choose to climb aboard the tram which transports visitors to the top of the mountain by the lake. You will be glad you didn't miss this remarkable Oregon landmark!!It's very much like Switzerland!
