Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The power of the water thunders over the rocks. It is peaceful and calming. Both falls can be accessed from one parking lot with a short walk on a well maintained trail. It’s a must see when traveling on OR126

    This lake is absolutely beautiful! This is a must-stop! Whether you want to stop and have a picnic lunch here or spend the day kayaking around the lake, Clear Lake is the perfect place to go! Stunning water, watercraft available for rent, picnic tables (shaded), plenty of parking and clean bathrooms make Clear Lake a great stop!

    Very clean town. Well trended landscaping and flowers. Some nice pubic art. Exceptionally clean and green city parks, Creekside and the tiny one next to the Visitor center( no staff, just pamphlets). Dog friendly and, apparently, responsible owners who clean up. No trash, nice grass and shade(Creekside).
    No street lights and very poor street intersection signs in most places but some new larger clearer ones here and there. Fairly heavy traffic, especially Cascades Highway Route 20 through town. I was surprised that highway traffic was very good st stooping for pedestrians in crosswalks. Many, many tourist-type shops. Good number of restaurants and cafes, many with outdoor seating. Finally found diesel Number 2 fuel just north of town.

    I am disabled with respiratory difficulties and am mobility challenged, found the trail to the falls easy enough that I was able to make it in and back out with my cane without very much difficulty, only having to stop to catch my breath. Falls are beautiful and managed to shoot several stills of them. Want to try the trip again, in the fall to capture the colorful trees and bushes.

    I recommend doing this fun trip counter-clockwise from Sisters. The road up to McKenzie pass has great views and the long string of switchbacks are going down the mountain after the Pass. The road is very good and it is absolutely safe with no scary spots. Certainly, stop at the Observatory. Unfortunately, on that section much of the pine forest has been destroyed by fire, but that’s nature. After the long series of switchbacks, the road all the way back around to Sisters is pretty, but less interesting, except several waterfalls which are worth walking into. The entire trip should take about 4 hours(with stops) and is well worth it. There are NO SERVICES anywhere on the trip, so gas-up and have food and water if needed.

    We have skied here the last couple of years and have loved every minute of it. All three of our children learned to ski on this hill. The staff is great, and do an excellent job of working with people of all abilities. The entire property has a very laid back family friendly vibe. The lodge is huge and a great place to relax between runs.

    This lake is a pretty one. But the last few miles can be nerve racking as road it very rough. We are fisher people so we were looking forward to float tubing but the wind was just too much. The are plenty of trail heads on the drive up and snow parks.

    Not too difficult and wonderful scenery! A must for outdoor enthusiasts. Mountain bikes are allowed, and dogs on a leash. Do it!

    This was our third visit, and each time was equally superb. People's tastes vary, so your group will likely not agree on what is best, but no one will deny the quality in each taste. Personally, I find both gins amazing, the bourbon delicious, and the pear vodka is so fresh that it reminded me of my teenage years working in a pear orchard where we would snag ripe pears off of the trees and eat them on the spot. Don't miss the cranberry vodka. It is too tart for some, but it is simply amazing if you like cranberry.

    We started at Three Creeks Trail and went counter clockwise on the Broken Top Loop trail, so I suppose we only came down Tam McArthur Rim Trail as opposed to doing it as an out-and-back, but it was a nice walk and I wouldn't say too difficult. There is some scree hiking--if you choose the west side--(the other side was more of a hard-packed trail), but even then it was okay. 

    The views along the way are nice, but the views from the top are stunning; definitely try to make it to the top if you can! 

    You can park at Three Creeks Lake and easily find the trailhead, and from there, the path is easy to follow (minus the one section where you have a choice to take, mentioned above). It's worth it as well to check out No Name Lake, which you'll see from the top if you make it that far. 

    This trail is fairly exposed, so be sure to wear sunscreen and a hat. Not buggy at all in mid-August. It's a beautiful place to hike.

    Hubby and I decided to explore, and we were very happy with the idea to check this out!
    We did not hike the trail but a few hundred feet, as it was very hot, and I was not feeling real well. However, the views from above are gorgeous!
    We did follow a road that happened to take us to the bottom of the gorge to the creek, so was happy about that!
    This is worth the HORRIBLE almost 6 miles in on a very non maintained road, but it helps to keep the traffic down. Feels like you're in the middle of nowhere! (In a sense you are, yet not.)

    Amazing collection of indigenous art and jewelry. LaRita was a pleasure to chat with and her knowledge was extensive. She was happy to show us pieces and let us get a good look, helpful in bringing jewelry out of the locked cases so we could really get a good look and try them on.

    We went back again the 2nd day of our visit and were disappointed that LaRita was not in - we didn't feel as welcome with the man that was running the shop that day, sadly.
