Provides access to: Clover Creek Trail , the southern most entrance into Mountain Lakes Wilderness .

Clover Creek Trail is a classic hike that joins the Mountain Lakes Loop Trail at 4.3 miles. The Mountain Lakes Loop Trail continues in a loop around the middle of the Wilderness accessing multiple lakes.

Mountain Lakes Wilderness area surrounds a cluster of four overlapping shield volcanoes, the highest of which is 8,208 ft (2,502 m) Aspen Butte. Over 20 small lakes lie along the bottoms of several large large cirques carved by Ice Age glaciers near the summits of the volcanoes.

Located 45 minutes northwest of Klamath Falls, Oregon, Clover Creek has no restrooms but there is ample (unpaved) parking for 6-8 cars and stock trailers as well as a turn-around area.

There is no potable water at the trailhead. Visitors need to pack plenty of water. Maintenance services are provided from June 25th through September 30th

About this trail's facts

The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
