South Campground Boat Ramp

South Campground Boat Ramp provides day-use access to Hosmer Lake in the Deschutes National Forest, with a dedicated boat launch and parking area (recreation fee required, separate from camping fees).

The ramp is ideal for paddlers and fly-fishers, as canoe and kayak are the recommended ways to experience the lake due to limited shore access. Located 35.

5 miles southwest of Bend on Cascade Lakes Highway, the facility offers vault toilets and nearby camping options with picnic tables and fire pits.
