Cascade Lakes Highway and Paulina Lake Road are set to open for the season. The Deschutes County Road Department will open both roads on Thursday, May 7 at 8 a.m.

Please note: Cascade Lakes Highway is currently accessible from the south to Lava Lake via S Century Drive (42 Road).

In a typical year, it can take up to six weeks to clear snow from Cascade Lakes Highway and Paulina Lake Road. However, because of this year’s warm winter and limited snowfall, road crews have been able to finish the work more quickly.

As always, conditions can change quickly at higher elevations. Plan ahead and check for updates before you go.
