Oregon's Outback: Part 2 Five of our Favorite Things to Do at Summer Lake 
On December 16, 1843, when John Fremont discovered Summer Lake, and nearby Winter Ridge, he described the two landmasses as, "proximate places of such sudden and violent contrast."

We've rounded up five more of our favorite winter activities in the Summer Lake area to set you on your way. READ MORE
