Lacamas Creek Trail

Our family frequents these trails. This is an easy hike around Round Lake, near Camas. I love this 1.5 mile walk ! It is so beautiful, filled with lush trees. And the feeling that you are deep deep into the woods without needing your whole camping pack. I am amazed that round lake, and the surrounding trails are all so beautiful and the fact that are very few people around! I though that for sure we would run into a ton of people, but that wasn’t the case. Dogs are welcome, as long as they are on a leash and there are poop bags at a few stations around the park as well.
The first time we came here was for a photoshoot, and all the photos turned out breathtaking. When we need to get out of the house with the dogs or if we want a place to stroll, this is one of our top spots!

Nice little trail with a good amount of beautiful hardwoods to enjoy along the way. Some people swim in the lake but I’m not so sure that I would recommend it. The water has a funny smell to it at some points of the trail. Overall, I’m thankful this trail is so close to home and we have it as an option for a walk.
The paths are well maintained which is a plus. If you have a dog, pick up the dog’s poop please– and don’t leave the poop bag on the trail. If you smoke, don’t be a moron– pick up your cigarette butts please.

Great place to hike and finish off at the lake for the afternoon! The hike is very easy and there were a lot of families with small children out there.
The lake was pretty amazing and not to crowded. We floated on tubes and BBQ’d. Great place to relax.

Nice trails and waterfalls. A lot of space to explore. But more garbage than I’ve ever seen on a hiking trail in the PNW sadly.

I love this trail simply because I can access the trail from my backyard (basically).
This is a great loop that goes around the lake and has some nice views. It isn’t a very challenging hike, more like a nature trail walk with some steep points.
A lot of people do fishing during the day, I let my dogs swim in the lake, they love it.
The only downside of the trail is people don’t pick up after their dogs. It’s disgusting. Just because you put it in a bag, doesn’t mean it’s going to throw itself away. Be responsible people.

Nice trail for sure! My parents actually used to drive me here to teach my siblings and I how to fish. Usually we would catch Blue Gill here. Hiking the trails as an adult makes me more appreciative of the view around me. One thing I never noticed was how gigantic the trees are. There are small areas set up with benches where you can grill food– great for family gatherings. There is also a playground here. As for the trail itself, it is your typical trail. It is mainly flat and easy. Definitely a leisurely hike.

Probably isn’t fair that I’m reviewing this since I grew up pretty much across the street. When I was younger I never understood all my friend’s parents saying how awesome & lucky I was to live here. Fast forward a bunch of years. Now I see why they all said that. I took this place for granite when I was younger. Back then It was just something to go do for ½ the day. Go hike, bring a lunch eat it someone where on the trail, go swimming, get lost on the trails that aren’t on the map.
This place is so amazing! Great place to go hike with your friends or 4 legged friends. You can bbq, have a picnic, fish, play on the play ground. The pot holes are so much fun to go to (they can be a bit intimidating when you’re younger), but always was an adventure! Seeing the dam is always so much fun, especially if you’ve never been here before.
The loop trail is pretty short, a lot of joggers on it. It can get crowded, especially on sunny weekends! There are plenty of trails that aren’t nearly as crowded. I love to get lost on all the side trails in the park. During the spring the hillside overlooking one of the waterfalls is gorgeous. All the flowers are in full bloom & it smells like spring! There’s a few waterfalls in this park. One has a bridge going over it. I think it’s when they lower (or raise it, one f the lake is when you can go play on all the rocks below the bridge.
This is pretty much a great little gem in stinky Camas. A great place to take for the whole family, if you want to go fishing, have a get together, go clear your mind, or for a fun active date!

This is a great trail. Good for hikers and mountain bikers. They have some really wide, accommodating trails and some that are smaller, probably intended for hikers only. The river is pretty awesome when it’s at full-​roar.

I love this trail.
It’s always been one of my favorite little hideaways in a town that most have never heard of.
The trails get muddy and hard to walk at times, so be aware of the weather before deciding to go for a walk.

Nice place for a walk or bike ride! Beautiful everywhere. Nice clean playground and bathrooms.
