Cold Water Cove Campground overlooks the pristine, turquoise waters of Clear Lake near McKenzie Bridge, OR. Clear Lake is the headwaters of the McKenzie River. The Clear Lake Loop Trail and the trail to Sahalie Falls and Koosah Falls provide scenic hiking from the campground as part of the McKenzie River National Recreation Trail. The color and beauty of the lake, falls and general area, are the result of ancient basaltic and andesite lava flows.
