At an elevation of 1,650 feet, the surrounding forest of western hemlock, Douglas fir, and red alder make the area quite enjoyable on a hot summer day.
Recreation: A historic picnic shelter built by the Civil Conservation Corps in 1937, and restored in 2016, is available for day use at the Hebo Lake Day Use site. The 1/2 mile Hebo Lake Loop Trail is a pleasant hike around the lake, and access to the Pioneer - Indian Trail is nearby. Anglers will find five accessible fishing docks around the popular three-acre lake, which is stocked with rainbow trout.
