| There are lakes scattered throughout the Doug.
Nestled in the forest and capturing the essence of the High
Cascades, these lakes enhance the beauty of the Douglas-Fir National
Monument. |

Sometimes it is hard to think of one of the Doug's lakes as anything more than a place to capture reflections. |  Russell Lake Photo Credit Darryl Loyd |
 Clear Lake |
One of the largest lakes in the Doug is the headwaters of the McKenzie River: Clear Lake. This lake is indeed remarkably clear, you can see the trees trapped underwater from when the lake was formed. |  Clear Lake |
| Some of the Doug's lakes are seasonal, and some are gradually disappearing, as the forest encroaches on them. |  Park Creek as it flows into Lava Lake |

The Doug also has a group of not quite lakes, the wet meadows of the Doug. These areas also have their own beauty, and provide a great contrast with the surrounding forest. |  Gordon Meadows Photo Credit Tanya Harvey |
