Sparks Lake
Sparks Lake, off the Cascade Lakes Highway about 25 miles from Bend, is a very popular outdoor spot for locals and visitors alike. The views of South Sister, Broken Top, and Bachelor Butte are a photographer’s dream. Near the boat ramp check out the Atkeson Memorial Trail. A sign details the easy loop, which includes a .25 mile paved wheelchair section.
