Willamette Zone

Timothy Lake is a popular and diverse fishery close to Portland. The lake is set amongst a mature Douglas-fir forest and holds three kinds of trout as well as kokanee. Several U.S. Forest Service campgrounds and day use areas make is a great family destination. The lake is open all year but snow often blocks access until the spring.

It is stocked regularly with rainbow trout. Wild cutthroat, brown and brook trout are also in the reservoir. Only brown, brook and adipose fin-clipped rainbow trout may be kept.

The best bank fishing is along the southern shore, near the dam, and at the mouths of inlet streams where fly fishing can be especially good in late summer and fall. Kokanee are available at shallower depths from spring through early summer.

The lake is about 11 miles east of Government Camp on Hwy 26, turn south onto Forest Rd 42 (Skyline Rd), then west onto Forest Rd 57, which leads to the lake. The road may be blocked by snow until June. An unpaved route from Estacada is considerably slower.
