bit baffling.
Walking along the perim-
eter of the lake is quite pos-
sible, although there are pri-
vacy issues since many routes
will take you through other
people9s campsites. The trail
along the western edge of Big
Lake tends not to encroach on
campsites and offers access to
less frequently traveled areas.
That trail is actually the last
stretch of a rather nice six-
mile counterclockwise trail
that traces a looping route
through the woods past each
of the Patjens Lakes before
returning to the shoreline of
Big Lake.
It9s an easy matter to
reach Big Lake. Simply
take Highway 20 west from
Sisters and, after about 20
miles, turn left just after the
summit of Santiam Pass onto
the Big Lake and Hoodoo Ski
Area road. Follow that road
past Hoodoo and Benson
Sno-Park, for a total of about
four miles. The day-use
area is the first paved turn-
off on the left after reaching
the lake. The Patjens Lakes
Trailhead is another half mile
or so on the right.
