FULL HIKE to Little Three Creek Lake! | Driftwood | Deschutes | Three Sisters | Central Oregon | 4K
Little Three Creek Lake is a small, gorgeous earth mineral toned Alpine Lake at around 6700 FT Elevation up above Three Creek Lake on the edge of Deschutes National Forest and Three Sisters Wilderness. It is a hike-in only Lake with Backcountry Campsites around the Lake. It is a low effort, high reward ratio Backcountry Camping Zone. There are two hiking trails to Little Three Creek Lake, the traditional North Path (I recommend) and a shorter South Path directly from the edge of Driftwood Campground. If you just hiked to the edge of the Lake and back its approximately 2.6 Miles Roundtrip. I would recommend doing the Full Highlight Hike of hiking to the Lake, hiking beyond the Lake up to the base of the Mountain near the Boulder Avalanche, and continuing on completely circumnavigating this small Lake as well as the unnamed Lake directly to the East of it. If you do the Full Highlight Hike it is approximately 4.3 Miles Roundtrip All-In which is still a pretty short hike with a lot of high quality stunning views.
There is a GREAT Backcountry Campsite on the Westernmost corner of the Lake just before the Hike into Three Sisters Wilderness at the base of the Mountain.
This was hiked on August 31, 2021 with beautiful blue sky and no inclement weather.
It is a self-issue permit at the Trailhead. If you really want to be ambitious, combine this 4.3 Mile Out and Back Hike with the Tam McArthur Rim Hike (I have a Video Playlist of that entire Hike available on my channel!) which is a Recreation.gov permit hike for a full day experience that captures ALL the Hiking Highlights of the Area!
