On a day when the sky is illuminated by cotton-candy skies, Sparks Lake has one of the most beautiful sunrise views of Broken Top Mountain. The water is often fairly shallow here, which means that reflection shots are even more common. Head out here first thing in the morning and you won't regret it!

This image was taken from the lakeshore of Sparks Lake, with a view of Broken Top Mountain.
I stood near the Sparks Lake Day Use parking area (44.013884, -121.737805). Once you reach the parking area, take the visitor trail north to reach the lakeshore.
