The Cascade Lakes are a collection of lakes in central Oregon in the United States of America. They include Elk Lake, Hosmer Lake, Lava Lake, Cultus Lake, North and South Twin Lakes, as well as Crane Prairie Reservoir.
The area is accessed by the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway (also known as Century Drive). The highway commands views of the majestic Three Sisters volcanoes.
Tourist activities in the area include:
- fishing;
- hiking into the Three Sisters Wilderness along the many trails in the Deschutes National Forest;
- staying at any of the rustic resorts along the route; and
- snowmobile riding on the Cascade Lakes Highway during winter, when the road is closed.
