Henry Hagg Lake is a popular lake located in the Washington County of Oregon. Due to its close proximity to the metropolitan area of Portland, Henry Hagg Lake is a popular weekend getaway location for people. The lake is less than an hour away from the city and offers variety of water activity options and picnic for people along the lake shore.
We got to Henry Hagg Lake around 1PM in the afternoon. The parking fee is $7 and can be paid at the entrance of the park. If you missed it, you can also pay at the main parking lot. Since Henry Hagg Lake is quite a large lake, there are several recreation areas for people to access. We went to recreation area C because it has the largest parking space.
When we got there, the parking lot was only half full. There was already a lot of people having picnic by the lake shore. We also saw many students from nearby college having a lot of fun there. Some picnic table also offered BBQ grill stand for people to use on a first come first serve basis.
As we walked along the lake shore, we also saw the hut that was offering paddle board rental. Several people rented paddle board and kayak from there. There was also a food truck selling Hawaiin shaved ice and was having a great business since it was a very hot day.
As we left the lake around 5PM in the afternoon, the parking lot was completely full. It seemed that most people come to the lake later in the afternoon. We would definitely come here again to enjoy a relaxing day but we would bring a canopy with us next time to stay under the shade.
