Welcome to the Mt. Hood National Forest The area of the Mt. Hood National Forest is covered by five Ranger Districts offering a variety of world-class recreational opportunities that exceed everyones expectations. The Mt Hood National Forest encompasses eight unique Wilderness areas as well as multiple barrier free accessible sites to explore. Whether it's skiing, hiking, boating, rafting, climbing, backpacking, horseback riding, or fishing that you are hoping to experience, you're sure to find great opportunities in your National Forest.
Not all of Oregon’s high elevation lakes support fish populations. To help create fisheries in some of these off-road areas ODFW stocks hundreds of lakes every two years with brook, rainbow and cutthroat trout. The Hike In Lakes of the Mt. Hood National Forest, the Bull of the Woods and Roaring River wilderness areas located in the North Willamette District were last stocked in June 2019.

Learn more about how to fish hike-in lakes
Every two years, ODFW plants over 300,000 fingerling fish in hundreds of Cascade lakes from Mt. Hood to Klamath Falls. Additional fish are dropped in the alpine lakes of the Eagle Cap Wilderness in the Wallowa Mountains -- including Lake Legore, Oregon’s highest lake at 8,950 feet. The 2.5- to 3-inch fingerlings are transported mostly by helicopter in a custom made shuttle carrying 30 individual canisters that hold a few gallons of water and up to 1,000 fingerling trout. The canisters are opened individually by remote control from inside the cockpit while the chopper hovers over a lake.
Return to Mile by Mile.Lakes of the Mt Hood National Forest
Glistening waters of over 150 lakes lie within the timbered boundaries of the Mt. Hood National Forest. Some of these lakes are easily accessible by car. Others bury themselves in the high country. On foot, or by horse, the sportsman must forge his way into these lakes to enjoy the solitude of the wilderness.
Most of these lakes were void of fish populations before the Department of Fish and Wildlife began an extensive stocking program. Heavily fished lakes are stocked annually, while more isolated lakes are planted every two or three years. Only those lakes that are fishable, either through stocking or natural reproduction, have been included in this guide. There are a number of other lakes which recreationists can enjoy, that do not contain game fish.
Fish populations and “fishing” is managed by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. They develop and implement the rules governing fishing in the Mt. Hood. National Forest, including all required fishing licenses, tags and permits. Because fishing regulations and season dates may change, it is best to consult the current Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations booklet, available at most sporting goods stores.
Please be careful with matches, leave a dead fire, a clean camp, and be familiar with angling limits and regulations.
