Waldo Lake is one of Oregon's largest lakes and among the purest lakes in the world.  Paddling across its surface can be a surreal experience, as the paddler is surrounded by an unusual and intensely beautiful landscape.

Sightings:  Nighthawks may be seen feeding on insects on clear warm summer evenings.  They often fly fairly high and are usually heard before they are spotted.  They have a distinctive nasal "peent" call and they also make a roaring sound with their wings as they swoop towards the ground.  These birds were once common but are now considered a sensitive species in the Willamette Valley.  They are most visible about one hour before dark.
