Mountain Lakes Trailhead

Provides access to: Mountain Lakes Wilderness via Mountain Lakes Trail.

Located 50 minutes northwest of Klamath Falls, Oregon, this rustic trailhead has no restroom facilities and limited parking. Campgrounds can be found nearby at Lake of the Woods.

Horseback riders are advised to ride from Lake of the Woods on the connector trail to the trailhead.

No potable water at the trailhead. Visitors need to pack plenty of water.
