The new Southern Pacific line from Eugene to Klamath Falls cuts through the Cascade National Forest and opens a new era of accessibility to the timber and recreational resources of the Willamette end of the Forest.
Odell is the first lake south of Waldo. Odell, Crescent and Summit Lakes lie just outside the Cascade Forest but are so close that they should be considered as part of this Forest.
The Old Military Road passes just north of this lake, and deserves a few words itself. It follows up the middle fork of the Willamette for over 60 miles through a very attractive region. This route was first used in 1863 when a pioneer train of 1500 people came into the Willamette Valley from Malheur. The next year the Oregon Central Military Road Company was organized to built a road from Eugene to Owyhee. The upper road at this time (1929) is only a fair mountain road but it will be improved and should become one of the main trans-state roads.
