Adventure Oregon - Lost Lake draining into a giant hole
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 май 2015
- Adventure Oregon - Every spring, Lost Lake mysteriously drains into a giant hole that is likely a lava tube. Where the water goes, nobody knows. Fun location for a day or overnight trip about 75 miles east of Salem Oregon. To get to Lost Lake take Hwy 22 east from Salem to Hwy 20. Continue east on Hwy 20. Just NE of the Potato Hill Snow Park turn left on unmarked road to Lost Lake. The Lost Lake drain hole is not far from the day-use parking area.
Wow, I would be freaked out to get close and end up in the center of the world, lol! It is quite amazing, and your directions are great! Thank you for sharing!
That dog brought her to the lake and then he took off right when she was focusing on the hole , he went off with his buddies into the bush to live happily ever after.
It’s probably the roof of a sinkhole. No way I would be standing that close.
It's an ongoing, yearly phenomenon. See: ruclips.net/video/ibr65Asf3Ig/видео.html
It is not a sinkhole. Solid bedrock; a collapsed lava tube. Been there for years and years unchanged.
@@NatureShy ...or is it?
I love the way the dog just nonchalantly walks up to it
I wish that she would have walked around more of the circle than she did, enabling us to see it from several angles.
I was having anxiety when the dog was by the hole lol
This lady is an A+ Moron . It’s a shame that idiots like this get lucky being blissfully reckless while someone who takes every sensible precaution can still have a tragedy happen to them .
@@kef103 i would get in and touch the bottom
@@donny234 hole in her head lol so interesting
Kef103 o
Just another stupid dog owner.
Thanks for showing us such a Mother Nature's mistery!
I wouldn't be caught anywhere near that thing. Water and saturated dirt can be dangerous!
Betsy Hopkins it's bedrock, not soil
What is the grass growing on???
I want say something.. But nah
soylentgreenfairy "What is the grass growing on???"
A thin layer of soil washed onto the bedrock over the centuries. It's not thick enough to support much growth other than grass, though, and is patchy.
So you don't fish, swim or boat... it's too dangerous to be near water, and saturated soil. Pretty fucking lame.
so the dog just ran off into the sunset??
Basically....
Mike Solo I guess so...
He ain't stupid he now's shit about to go south real soon
If you look closely, he is just hanging way out there to the right side.
Wouldn't you if you had this woman for an owner?
Wow amazing! ! Oregon is so beutifull I hope wach it with my eyes some day!
Beautiful morning, just watching the phe-nominom of the earth swallowing itself... beautiful phe-nominom
Yeah, until it swallows you with it
phenomenom
Yeah ... Hey ! The dog just ran off in one direction and just kept on going.
Legend has it that "Big Dog" hasn't come back since!
Lost Lake has been doing this for ever. Used to camp there 50 years ago. It fills up in the winter.
Yes, and she knows this. She's just showing it on film for those who have not seen it.
It may not be a vortex (which is a fascinating subject for me), but it's just plain amazing!
I drive by this often... never noticed it before.
I can almost guarantee that the freezing and thawing of the water between small cracks in the basalt caused a fissure which then sped the process of erosion down into a lava tube.
Because the area is absolutely riddled with tubes.
StressedYeti you are smart!
Guarantee?
Yes. Central and Southeastern Oregon is full of lava tubes that have collapsed like that. Those single holes in the roofs are called skylights.
Straight to the secret underground alien dwellings 😲
Interesting video..reading your commentd..they mostly seem rude n snide...trolls in mass numbers...thanks for sharing. .be safe
No trolls this time, just people that can't understand so much carelessness.
This should be an 8 hour video of nothing but that water sound with this scenic backdrop.
Jiggle the handle!
Dave hahahahaha
Hahahahaha! Hilarious!
I love it !
LOL
Best comment by far!
When would you recommend the best time to visit this spot? Thanks for the video and directions on how to get there.
Best time to visit is spring. Spring is the only time that the this happens. Winter it is snow/ice covered. Summer the hole is filled with tiny frogs.
Pro tip: turn off sound
Just stumbled onto this video. I have never been here, but I did drive close on my way to Sisters and Bend, OR. There is another Lost Lake just north of Mt. Hood accessed by Lost Lake Rd off of Hwy 35 & Hwy 281. It is much more beautiful around there. There are camp grounds and trails around the lake. You can rent row boats and go out on the lake. My wife, soon to be daughter in law, and I did this in August of 2013. We got some great pictures of Mt. Hood from on the water.
While this women babbles on and on the dog saw his opportunity for escape 😂
ahahahah
ur not to talk bout any one moron
That dog was 'hookin' it'!!! He's 3 counties away.... good thing he brought his wallet. Milk bines don't grow on trees, ya know.......or do they?🤔😑
Lori Squires " Milk bines don't grow on trees, ya know.......or do they?"
I don't know. What are milk bines? ;-)
lol shes hooked on phonics he meant bones
I'm thinking that water found the entrance of an ancient lava tube and it is acting like a pipeline to another part of the same network, perhaps later emerging as a spring or series of springs at some distant and lower altitude location.
Its caves...they run from central Claifornia to almost northern Oregon.
We can use this hole to make electricity?
You almost called it lost dog.
I live in Oregon City! This should be a family adventure
All I could think was plug it up. A 2inch steel plate should last a few decades. As a young teen, I dammed up a small creek; I did where the banks were highest. 3weeks later I went back, I had flooded the entire area. I created maybe 100 acre pond that was 3ft deep. It's been 30years. I should Google Earth the Area. lol .
California needs that water
francob911 California needs to just drift off into the Pacific Ocean and sink.
francob911 "California needs that water"
Who do you think bored the tunnel leading under the lake? :-D
Come get you some.
SeikiBrian My thoughts exactly.
@@StrokerAce3983 Along with Texas, Florida, and the rest of the south.
I saw a pic of this randomly online and they made the hole waterfall look massive ! Lol it’s actually so tiny !
i adored Oregon when i lived there for a short time...
That's so cool!
I LIKE YOUR FOOTAGE, VERY PLEASANT,
Incredibile 🤩 cosa non fa' la natura...💫💯
What a cute dog awww 🐕
In the spring when they have a lot of rain. Lake overflows and runs into manmade hole??? OR natural???
did you get your dog back? seem more interested in the hole than safety of big dog?
Is this the lost lake right near Mt Hood?
Even the water is smart enough to get out of Oregon.
That's right let's turn this into a political bash of the high tax lefties !! Lava tube is my guess.
Did you find anything in the bottom?
Wonderful hole and place
It looks like Lost Lake will finally live up to its name.
Wow, that is cool!
Thanks. This is interesting.
I wander what the dog was smelling in the air? He didn't want anything to do with the death hole
Lesa Disher; oh, he saw where the waters going, so he just went to see where its coming from.
she sounds like rosanne barr. love the vid. ty
U are absolutely awesome, and your Dogg is like a 'detective inspector' sniffing around and observing the phenomenon. Good one Hun. Draining possibly into a larger casym underground. it'd be quite interesting to find out how long the lake has been there for and see if my therory is right , without knowing the previous or it's original size u could say, it's not a lost lake, really it's a recycling body of water feeding itself down the gurgler, then replenishing the bigger body of water so unto never actually truly disappear, just to continue it's mysterious flow, on "Mumma natures Rock watercourse" & conveyor belt
Beautiful country...
The dog in the back chasing somthing lol
Is the lake still there?
Every year after 5' of snow melts. Also has 2 places cold springs that flow in early when at full pool.
thank you
Go down there you might find one-eyed Willy's treasure
I lived in Oregon, I miss it.
That’s awesome
It drains into an underground river in summer, then it refills later in the year
Very informative comment. Thanks. I wish the uploader pinned your comment.
Is this true though. Very interesting if so
@@TheDeanoc69 it is sort of true. The lake sits over a partially collapsed lava tube. It is the drainage into the collapsed lava tube that creates the underground river. There are 2 other holes there that I know of. They are quite a bit smaller and slightly higher in elevation so they would be completely dry when the lake is this low. Also, while it is constantly draining, the winter and spring rains followed by the snow melt are sufficient enough keep it pretty full most of the year. Most years it’s still pretty much a lake up until July when it starts getting dry and the inflow can’t keep up with the outflow. I live 45-50 minutes from there and I stop there on my way to visit relatives in Sisters, Or all the time.
@@biohazard_613 wow that’s cool. Love learning about this sort of stuff thanks. You’re very lucky living so near a beautiful place like this
@@TheDeanoc69 you’re welcome and yes, I love living near so much beauty. I’ll take advantage of it while I can because I’ll be leaving Oregon in the next couple of years. Just found out that I will be inheriting some family land in Oklahoma that I can’t pass up. I’ll never be able to afford that kind of acreage in Oregon.
Scary
Entrance to a mine or underground river?
I says "every spring" it drains into the hole. Does the lake not exist year round like all other lakes? Surely it will be draining into the hole year round?
Careful big dog!
I would never allow my dog to walk near that sink hole.
Will Flex Seal Tape work?
oregon cant afford name brand tv stuff
Dog found his roots in the forrest . 🐻🐻🌲🌲
There seems to be SEVERAL "Lost Lake's" here in Oregon!! The one that I have always gone to is just above the Spruce Run aka Jewel/Mist area. I have friends who have gone to other "Lost Lake's" in Oregon.
Very true, there’s also a lost lake above mt hood parkdale which is literally just on the other side of the mountain.
I guess we can’t call it Lost anymore cuz u found it!
That dog is fast.😳
I bet it's like a huge underground water slide.
A couple of cans of foam spray and you got your lake back...
You're thinking of Flex Seal? ruclips.net/video/httSHnNXN10/видео.html
Legend has it that dog is still running.
Is this Lost Lake Camping or actually Lost Lake?
This is Lost Lake in Oregon near the Santiam Pass. There are 10+ Lost Lakes in Oregon so it depends on which Lost Lake you are looking for
Não deixaria meu cachorro chegar perto desse local,me mandava com ele bem longe.sao como criancinha,sem noção do perigo.
this amazing video of this lake and everyone is worried about some dog
Don't worry, no one would be worried about you. Your "warm loving comment" tells the story.
Amazign !! :-)
Favourite place Ever🦋♥️♥️♥️♥️😼
Funfact - This video was made by Roseanne Barr
Wat
Any update on this lake
It's cleaning it's self it's amazing how u can clean water
Rosanne lol cool vid
Hey that dog still missing ?
Wow... Rosanne Bar is the narrator.
Watch how fast that dog runs away from this lady...
A 5 foot plug would sort that out. Follow the water and you'd find Doug McClure, Brendan Fraser, James Mason or Peter Cushing. Or all four.
Want to know where it goes?
Get a bucket or so of food colouring and pour it in.
It is part of underaerth tubing system - it will spring in my backyard.. in about 100 years :D
so the Dog is not her pet or is it idk
like. idk
Mother nature at her best.
soon gone lake?
Good God I cringed when I saw the dog walk so close to the hole.
The earth is thirsty
I don't think I'd be getting too close to that thing.
If there was a big enough cork...
I think she had one too many drinks! That dog was out!
Wonder where the waters going
I mean Big Dawg was just trying to see where the hole leads to... 😂🤣😂🤣 Big Dawg bout that life so she had to call him off!
😂😂😂
And nobody knows where the water is going? Amazing.. you’d think.. there would be a difference somewhere else, in the past, lake was here, hole opened, millions of gallons of water went down it.. just gone!
No way would I be standing there. No way!
We've got a Mystery Hole here in West Virginia.
There's a hole in the lake, dear Liza dear Liza a hole!!!
That’s interesting
Oraya akan su Acaba nereden çıkıyor merak ettim
I wonder is there away to be Tide too a cable, lol. I mean a camera tied to a cable and fallow as far as it can go. wow I'd sure like to know where it's going.
