WHAT TIME: n/a

CAMPOUTING!
WHEN: August 10-13, 2018
WHERE: Miller Lake - Digit Point Campground
WHAT TIME: whenever you can make it
WHAT to EXPECT: This 600+ acre lake outside of Chemult is home to many unique things for Oregon - first, it is one of two lakes in the state where night fishing is allowed for cold-water species! Second, Miller has a reputation for some very large fish - especially nocturnal brown trout! If you have never been - it is worth going at least once.....
- and why not with people who have been there before! Be prepared, the lake is at the end of just over 12-miles of variable gravel road and like most of our high desert lakes, has a reputation for mosquitoes and high-winds [though, my most recent three trips there - only one had significant mosquitoes and only one had significant winds - and that was the same trip so the wind blew the mosquitoes away!].
DIRECTIONS: head south on Hwy 97 and turn west on Deer Creek Road/FS 9772 just before the Ranger Station north of Chemult [about 1-mile]; follow for a bit over 12-miles until it ends at the lake.
WHAT to BRING: a float tube, bug spray, a side dish for the potluck on Saturday and a friend if you wish!
