About

Nestled high in the Cascade Mountains among towering firs and pines, Hyatt Lake Recreation Area is located in the northern corner of Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument on the shores of beautiful Hyatt Lake. At just above 5,000 feet elevation, the 745-acre recreation area provides options for summertime camping, picnicking, hiking, horseback riding, biking, fishing, swimming, and boating. The recreation area offers dramatic views of Mt. McLoughlin and serves as an excellent basecamp for access to the Monument and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. The main Hyatt Lake Campground has 44 campsites across three loops (A, B, and C) with two boat ramps with dock facilities, flush toilets, hot showers, a playground, and an RV dump station. Wildcat Campground offers a more primitive camping experience with 12 campsites, an undeveloped boat launch, a well hand pump for potable water, and vault toilets in a more open setting. For horse-campers, five equestrian-only campsites, each with a corral, are available in the Equestrian Campground and offer easy spur-trail access to the Pacific Crest Trail. Hyatt Lake is a 10 mph no-wake lake. During spring and summer months, Hyatt offers excellent lake trout and smallmouth bass fishing. Additional recreation activities include hiking, swimming, horseshoes, and sand volleyball. The campground is located inside the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument, which was established to protect a diverse range of biological, geological, aquatic, archaeological, and historic objects.
