Faraday Lake

This is a quiet little fishing spot, less than 40 minutes from Portland. Well stocked with rainbow trout in the summer, it’s easily accessible for all ages.
Owned and maintained by PGE (Portland General Electric). Be prepared to rough it a little here. The parking lot is approx half mile walk down a gravel path to get to the BEST fishing area, although there us an area that’s more easily accessible with a small fishing pier. Then climb up over a grassy hill.
There is a bathroom, but its a vault-​style outdoor toilet (no running water or flushing toilets) so it gets real my smell my in the summer.
Fishing is incredibly easy here. We caught our limit in less than 2 hours two days in a row. Obviously, they keep the lake well stocked, multiple times during the spring and summer.
