Located on Mt. Hebo, this small, family campground has 12 campsites. Sites #3 and #4 may be reserved online at www.recreation.gov or by calling 1.877.444.6777. At an elevation of 1,650 feet, the surrounding forest of western hemlock, Douglas fir and red alder make the area quite enjoyable on a hot summer day. Hebo Lake campground is ideal for those wanting a secluded, quiet camping getaway in the forest. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring. Vault toilets are provided but there is no drinking water.
A historic picnic shelter built by the Civil Conservation Corps in 1937, and restored in 2016, is available for day use at the Hebo Lake Day Use site. The 1/2 mile Hebo Lake Loop Trail is a pleasant hike around the lake, and access to the Pioneer - Indian Trail is nearby. Anglers will find five accessible fishing docks around the popular three-acre lake, which is stocked with rainbow trout.
