## Overview

This campground provides 49 single campsites. There are both reservable and
FCFS sites. The original campsites within Big Lake are in two loops, (sites
#1-14 and #15-20) which have eight or so sites with frontage on the lake
shore. In 1992 additional campsites were opened (sites #21-49) on a long
straight stretch from the boat launch towards Big Lake West. These sites have
larger and wider parking spurs, and most sites use stairs to access the table,
fire rings and tent pad below the parking spur. Sites can accommodate trailers
up to 35 feet in length, depending on site. Drinking water is provided by a
water system, built in 1993, which serves the entire Big Lake complex by
filtering water drawn from the lake and distributing it to the campgrounds.
There are three single vault toilets, and two double vault toilets in the
campground. The extra vehicle parking area consists of a boat launch, picnic
area, and parking for approximately 15 vehicles and boat trailers. All of
these day use facilities are located in the middle of the campground, between
the original loops and the "expansion" campsites. *Day Use Fee for day
users/boat launch. Extra Vehicle Fee for campers with more than 1 vehicle.

Campfires allowed until and unless otherwise posted. Fire bans are common

Box Canyon Guard Station sits beneath a canopy of Douglas fir at an altitude
of 3,620 feet on the West Cascades National Scenic Byway. It is located
approximately 75 miles southeast of Eugene, Oregon in the Willamette National

riding on horseback through the tall timbers to the location spotted by the
lookout tower guards. The first on the scene, they often tried to put out any
fires they may have found on their own, or reported back for additional help.
The guard station is open from early May through the end of October and is
easily accessible by car. Some creature comforts are provided, but guests
should be prepared to pack in most of their own supplies and gear.

## Overview

The Indian Ridge Lookout sits at an elevation of 5,405 feet in the Willamette
National Forest. Built in 1958, the lookout was used for firefighting by
Forest Service personnel until 1973. The lookout is still staffed occasionally
during emergencies. The lookout is accessible by car, although the access road
is rocky. Guests must be prepared to climb steep, narrow steps up the 30-foot
tower to access the lookout's cabin. The accommodations are primitive, so
guests should be prepared to pack in most of their own supplies and gear.

## Recreation

guests can enjoy spectacular night skies and star gazing. An unmaintained
trail on the ridge meanders through alpine trees and beargrass, allowing
hikers to explore the mountaintop. The French Pete Trail Area in the Three
Sisters Wilderness offers several miles of hiking. Cougar Reservoir and Hidden
Lake are also in the vicinity, offering additional recreation options.
