It’s commonly known that Oregon’s forests are wonderful destinations for hiking, camping, paddling, fishing, and so much more. But there is also a spot in Willamette National Forest that is famous in the scuba community for its freshwater diving.
Clear Lake lives up to its name with 100 to 200 feet of visibility depending on conditions and time of year. Below the surface you can see vibrant green meadows of algae and towering tree trunks preserved for thousands of years. Near-freezing groundwater that has been filtered through layers of volcanic rock flows out of vents at the lake floor, and several varieties of trout make this submerged forest their home.
