The Trillium Lake Trail goes around Trillium Lake and through Trillium Lake Campground. Many a postcard photo of Mt Hood is taken from along this trail. The trail crosses wetlands that provide bird watching opportunities. Its distance and easier difficulty level make it a great family hike, particularly for those with strollers or with limited mobility. This trail was build to be barrier free. While hikers would describe it as flat, there are a couple of short grades of under 5%. The trail surface is a combination of wooden boardwalk and very finely compacted rock. There are a few benches along the trail. The trail begins and ends at the Trillium Lake dam. A different trail, Trillium Lake Loop Trail, is a winter trail that utilizes the closed roads in winter months to provide a cross-country ski, snowshoe and snowmobile opportunity.
