Ski Ashland
Skiers from Ashland and Medford love Ski Ashland for its convenience and challenging terrain. Traveling skiers enjoy it because of Ashland's active theater community which means there's plenty to do at night and wide-open lodging opportunities that were built to handle large summer crowds.

Tubb Springs State Park
In 1846, a wagon train led by Jesse Applegate traversed southern Oregon along what became known as the Applegate Trail. Tub Springs Wayside is one of the stopping points before you head down the mountain pass into Ashland. Take a moment to stop here amid the towering fir and sense what it was like 150 years ago. Breathe in the fresh mountain air. There's an interpretive panel at the wayside describing the difficulties faced by these pioneers.

Box R Ranch

Four Mile Lake
A great spot for fishing, boating, and swimming, four Mile Lake, in the Klamath Ranger district, is a perfect place to set up camp. There are six picnic sites, 25 tent or trailer sites, drinking water, and facilities all located at this beautiful alpine lake. There is a six-mile trip down Four-mile Lake road to Four-mile Lake. On a clear day, you'll have a beautiful vista of Mt. McLoughlin. This area gets 10-15 feet of snow during the winter, so once you get to the lake, don't be surprised when it looks like a massive snowfield.
