Once one large lake that was separated into three separate lakes by blocked drainage from snowmelt runoff on the Newberry Flow, the Green Lakes are aptly named for their deep teal coloring, which you can admire from the Green Lakes Trail. Set directly between South Sister and Broken Top, the tiny Lower Green Lake is just three acres and a great fishing spot for native brook trout that call the lake home. Middle Green Lake is much larger at 83 acres, while Upper Green Lake covers 10 acres, both of which are surrounded by low grasses and spectacular beds of wildflowers in season. Upper and Middle Green Lakes also offer excellent fishing with stocks of brook trout and rainbow trout.
