Little Lava Lake Access

Little Lava Lake Access provides a boat ramp and day-use area for accessing this scenic 130-acre no-wake lake in the Deschutes National Forest, making it ideal for kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding.

The nearby campground offers vault toilets, potable water, and generously spaced campsites under lodgepole pine canopy, with some sites along the lakeshore and Deschutes River headwaters.

A Northwest Forest Service Pass is required for day-use access, and nearby Lava Lake Resort provides additional amenities including a store, gas, and supplies.
