Wednesday, August 19, 2020 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 11 Funding available for businesses PHOTO COURTESY CRAIG EISENBEIS Craig Eisenbeis (right) enjoys Big Lake in 1960; Bill Derville (left) would be his best man eight years later. BIG LAKE: Grand spot is just west of Sisters off Highway 20 Continued from page 8 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.
