About
Lake Harriet Campground occupies a scenic location on the eastern shore of crystal-clear Lake Harriet, nestled in a narrow, heavily forested canyon at approximately 2,000 feet elevation in Mt. Hood National Forest. The 22-acre lake sits where the Oak Grove Fork of the Clackamas River flows into it, creating excellent habitat for rainbow, cutthroat, and brown trout. The campground provides 8 single-family sites, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring with grill. Accessible vault toilets and potable water from a hand pump are available. A boat ramp and ADA-accessible fishing dock provide easy lake access. Boating and canoeing are popular, with a 10 mph speed limit in effect. Nearby recreation includes hiking in the Bull of the Woods Wilderness to the south, fishing on the Oak Grove Fork of the Clackamas River for steelhead and salmon, and mountain biking on primitive forest roads. The Ripplebrook Ranger Station, about 6 miles west, offers a general store and visitor center.
