Henry Hagg Lake is a man-made lake and sits a mere 25 miles west of downtown Portland.

An easy day trip, Henry Hagg Lake was made for recreational boating, although bigger boats are discouraged in certain areas.

This setup means that there’s a no-wake area where even novice kayakers will feel comfortable.
