Catalpa Lake Hike

Overview

Little Catalpa Lake lies nestled below a scree slope on the Frog Lake Buttes. It's a short hike in, good for those with young children or fishermen who plan to stay all day. If you want a longer approach, try the Catalpa Lake via Bonney Meadows Trail Hike . According to Lewis A. and Lewis L. McArthur's Oregon Geographic Names , the lake was named by a "fish-planting crew" around 1950. Catalpa trees (Catalpa sp.) are native to the east and south of the United States, and other species live in the Caribbean and east Asia. They are popular deciduous flowering trees in gardens and one would assume that one of the "fish planters" from the Oregon State Game Commission had a fondness for them, thus introducing a "non-native" name into the wilderness.
