Description
Below Mount Hood, Oregon's tallest mountain at 11,250 feet (3429 meters) is Trillium Lake. The lake is situated 7.5 miles (12.1 km) south-southwest of the mountain. It is formed by a dam at the headwaters of Mud Creek, tributary to the Salmon River. It was created by the state Department of Fish and Wildlife in 1960. The area which is now the lake was part of the Barlow Road, a component of the Oregon Trail. A log road across marshes allowed immigrants to pass to Summit Meadow, which was a toll station 1866-1870. The lake is named after Trillium, a genus of flowers particularly noticeable in the area.
