Gold Lake





Another favorite lake for a canoe paddle is Gold Lake. It is just west of Willamette Pass. The lake is named for its color, which algae are responsible for. Along the south side of the lake, in the shade of the firs and spruces, a pretty white flower with fringed petals (grass-of-parnassus) is found (bottom 2 photos). The north end of the lake is a bog (top 2 photos).
