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.
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 .
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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
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.
Gold Ray I’d be wondering about the Indiana Jones geology that’s going on underground in that area. It’s 💯% impossible to know what to do unless you get him involved IMO.
@@kef103 This is not a sinkhole, but a collapsed lava tube. The ground all around it is solid bedrock, and the shape of the hole erodes on a massive geologic time scale.
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?
Well an aquifier is the layer of rock that cleans out the ground water we drink that contains clay sand or silt amd it sits over top the water so no....this is not an aquifier
Kabba45 I don't think he said it IS an aquifer, rather that it's draining INTO the grounds natural unconfined aquifer, or water table. Which is the only possible answer..
sgdeluxedoc "...it's draining INTO the grounds natural unconfined aquifer, or water table. Which is the only possible answer.." Actually it's draining into a lava tube or underground river (geologists aren't exactly sure), and then flowing into Clear Lake, which then drains into the McKenzie River. They know from tracking radioisotopes that it takes 5 to 7 years for the water to make the journey.
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!
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.
Caught Rainbow trout 20 + inches flyfishing and casting over this hole and stripping fast in when at full pool. Also casting to cruiser's patrolling the deeper channels stripping slow chugging up mud as they pass. Walked right up and stood at the edge the first time I saw this. Amazing location !
The soil might be fairly firm. Since it does not seem to be eroding much. If it was loose soil, then yes it would be dangerous. I might touch it with a ten foot pole!
This woman should not have a dog as she doesn't know the dangers of the sink holes she just let the dog go right up to it if it went in the hole it would of disappeared
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!
It’s probably the roof of a sinkhole. No way I would be standing that close.
It's an ongoing, yearly phenomenon. See: th-cam.com/video/ibr65Asf3Ig/w-d-xo.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

Just another stupid dog owner.
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.

Thanks for showing us such a Mother Nature's mistery!
Incredibile 🤩 cosa non fa' la natura...💫💯
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?

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.
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.
Pro tip: turn off sound
Beautiful morning, just watching the phe-nominom of the earth swallowing itself... beautiful phe-nominom
Yeah, until it swallows you with it

It may not be a vortex (which is a fascinating subject for me), but it's just plain amazing!
Wow amazing! ! Oregon is so beutifull I hope wach it with my eyes some day!

Its caves...they run from central Claifornia to almost northern Oregon.
Jiggle the handle!
Dave hahahahaha
Hahahahaha! Hilarious!
I love it !
LOL
Best comment by far!
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!
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.
Straight to the secret underground alien dwellings 😲

lol shes hooked on phonics he meant bones
I LIKE YOUR FOOTAGE, VERY PLEASANT,
California needs that water
francob911 California needs to just drift off into the Pacific Ocean and sink.

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.
This should be an 8 hour video of nothing but that water sound with this scenic backdrop.
What a cute dog awww 🐕
i adored Oregon when i lived there for a short time...
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.
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.

It looks like Lost Lake will finally live up to its name.

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.

Very true, there’s also a lost lake above mt hood parkdale which is literally just on the other side of the mountain.
Will Flex Seal Tape work?
oregon cant afford name brand tv stuff
she sounds like rosanne barr. love the vid. ty
Funfact - This video was made by Roseanne Barr
Wat
We can use this hole to make electricity?
I lived in Oregon, I miss it.
A couple of cans of foam spray and you got your lake back...
You're thinking of Flex Seal? th-cam.com/video/httSHnNXN10/w-d-xo.html
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.
wondering if the lake is still draining. if so, put a lot of food coloring in then watch around the area to see if it comes out.
They’ve tried that with no luck. Many times.
What can be done to save the lake from vanishing??
1. put a large slab on the mouth of the drain hole.
2. .....???
3 .....????
Gold Ray I’d be wondering about the Indiana Jones geology that’s going on underground in that area. It’s 💯% impossible to know what to do unless you get him involved IMO.
Beautiful country...
Did you find anything in the bottom?
Why oh why wouldn't you have your dog on a leash. Good Lord!
elftails m stick to the dog park and dressing up your little pooch honey.
This is very educational it can teach children how fun it is to play near sinkholes.
Cause big dogs need to run, bitch. #shelteredlife

In the spring when they have a lot of rain. Lake overflows and runs into manmade hole??? OR natural???
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?
did you get your dog back? seem more interested in the hole than safety of big dog?
Wow, that is cool!

Is this the lost lake right near Mt Hood?
Legend has it that dog is still running.
Careful big dog!
Favourite place Ever🦋♥️♥️♥️♥️😼
so the Dog is not her pet or is it idk
like. idk
Go down there you might find one-eyed Willy's treasure
Mother nature at her best.
Wonder where the waters going
Want to know where it goes?
Get a bucket or so of food colouring and pour it in.
I bet it's like a huge underground water slide.
Dog found his roots in the forrest . 🐻🐻🌲🌲
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.
Why not put some dye in the water and see where it comes out after it goes in the hole?
It would probably dilute or be filtered out by the time it found an exit.
well then put a shit ton of dye? they did this for oak island i believe.
Or put a ROV down there with lights and cameras. See what's going on in there.
where you going to look for the water coming out exactly?????
+LincolnTek The government does nothing to check into so much water disappearing all over the country because they are the ones taking it.
That dog is fast.😳
Any update on this lake
Thanks. This is interesting.
It is draining into a lava tube which is connected to underground channel leading onto a river
Look up Blue pool. McKenzie river.
I would never allow my dog to walk near that sink hole.
Good they found the camera. Did they ever find the woman 👩 and her dog 🐕?
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!
