## Recreation

Visitors can take advantage of boating, kayaking, swimming and fishing on East
Lake. A boat ramp is located in the campground, and the lake has a 10 mph
speed limit.  
  
For anglers, the lake provides the perfect setting to fish from boat or the
shoreline. It supports rainbow trout, brown trout and Kokanee salmon. In
September, the outlet of adjacent Paulina Lake may be choked with Kokanee
moving to spawn in Paulina Creek.  
  
The Crater Rim Trail, considered one of the finest high country trails in the
area, boasts vast stretches of forest, deserts and mountains. The trail has
many access points and connectors to other trails.

## Facilities

Cinder Hill Campground offers several sites close to the shore or within easy
walking distance to the beach. It is an ideal campground for those hauling
trailers, but it also has plenty of sites perfect for tents. Sites are
equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills. Flush toilets and
drinking water are also available.

## Natural Features

East Lake is located within the collapsed crater, or caldera of Newberry
Volcano. Nearly five miles in diameter, the caldera encircles the basins of
East Lake and Paulina Lake. East Lake covers 1,044 acres and is 180 feet at
its deepest point.  
  
Paulina Creek flows from the lake and has chiseled a narrow gorge through the
caldera's west wall creating a remarkable twin waterfall. Thermal vents and
hot springs along the lake's northeast edge help create a highly productive
ecosystem.  
  
The surrounding undeveloped wilderness, clean streams and diverse forests
support a variety of wildlife, including black bear, bighorn sheep, deer,
native fish and migratory birds.

## Natural Features

Nearby peaks, lava flows and Ponderosa pine stands provide visitors with a
variety of landscapes, showcasing ecosystems typical of central Oregon.  
  
The Deschutes River, a tributary of the Columbia River, is central to the
campground. The river flows through areas of ponderosa and aspen, with its
shoreline varying from marshy meadows to basalt bedrock. Flows fluctuate less
on this part of the river because of tributaries, and the river features many
deep pools, a relatively stable bank and rocky in-stream structure.  
  
Wildlife found in the area include deer, elk, native fish and migratory birds.
