About
ELK LAKE RESORT
Tucked away just 35 miles west of Bend, Elk Lake offers a true mountain escape in every season. Surrounded by forest and alpine beauty, our rustic cabins and peaceful forest campsites provide the perfect place to slow down and settle in.
From long summer days on the water—paddling, kayaking, sailing, and swimming—to crisp winter adventures like snowmobiling and cross-country skiing, there’s something here year-round to reconnect you with the outdoors.
Stop by the Lodge to warm up by the fire, enjoy a hearty meal, or sip a hot drink after a day of exploring—or cool off in the summer with a scoop of ice cream. With snowmobiles available to rent in the winter and plenty of ways to get out on the water in the summer, it’s easy to try something new.
Come experience the quiet, the adventure, and the simple comfort of Elk Lake Resort.
