Road Trip: Suttle Lake

Suttle Lake gazeboThe Art of Escapism

By Kyla Merwin Cheney

Someone got married at the Lodge at Suttle Lake yesterday. The ceremony was small, short and sweet, just six people in attendance. Remnants of the nuptials are scattered in yellow and white petals across the lawn, the only tracks remaining of an enthusiastic flower girl. The decorated gazebo looks over Suttle Lake and into the eye of the setting sun, creating the perfect venue to begin Happily Ever After.
Those of us with less weighty pursuits, however, also gather at this same lake for its beauty, recreational quests, seclusion, and happy proximity to Sisters, Redmond, and Bend (just 45 minutes from the latter, yet a million light years away).
Speaking of time, Suttle Lake appeared on the land 10,000 years ago, when a 25,000-year-old glacier melted itself into a mile-an-a-half long, 75-foot deep, ice-cold puddle. Since then it has been a gathering place for Native Americans, trappers, wanderers and escape artists - like us. READ MORE
