The Cascade Lakes Welcome Station serves as a gateway to some of the most popular trails, lakes and recreation areas on the Deschutes National Forest. The Welcome Station also offers parking and access to Phil’s and Wanoga mountain biking trails systems. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic The Cascade Lakes Welcome Station office may be unstaffed when you arrive.
Located about 7 miles from downtown Bend and about 15 miles from Mt. Bachelor, this is the perfect place to stop and fill up on information about the area’s outdoor attractions before you plan your next adventure.
The small geocache hidden in this park is part of the Bend Arts, Culture and Adventure GeoTour. There is an info card inside the container which contains the BACA GeoTour Secret Code needed to complete the GeoTour passport and collect a trackable GeoTour coin. BACA GeoTour Passports can be picked up at The Bulletin, 320 SW Upper Terrace Dr, Suite #200 Bend, Oregon, or at participating sponsor locations. Visit www.bendbulletin.com/geocache for more information.
A special thank you to DJKFisher for helping us out with this cache location when we were in a bind!
