Clear Lake is a mountain lake 85 km (52 mi) southeast of Portland, Oregon, United States in Mount Hood National Forest. It can be seen from flights in the region as a bird-like body of water.[citation needed]
It is 20 km (12 mi) south of Mount Hood and 8 km (5 mi) northeast of Timothy Lake, near the junction of U.S. Route 26 and Skyline Road at the latter's northern terminus. It is near the northwest corner of Wasco County. The Pacific Crest Trail is 4 km (2 mi) west of the lake.
It is fed by several small streams of the eastern Cascade Crest, and is the headwaters of Clear Creek, a tributary of the White River.
Clear Lake Butte is a 4454 ft (1358 m) butte 2.1 km (1.3 mi) south of the lake, and defines the northwest corner of Warm Springs Indian Reservation.
