My Hometown: Triangle Lake, Oregon

Triangle Lake, Oregon
Pictured here is Triangle Lake's public dock. Triangle Lake is named after its geometrical shape, and is just under a half square mile in area. The lake is located along Highway 36 in Lane County, and is a popular attraction for locals and tourists alike in the summer. While the town itself is tiny with not much more than a country store and a 1A school to offer, Triangle Lake is familiar to many Oregonians for being one of just two natural lakes in the state.

Troy Foglio is a timber faller and machine operator for Heron Timber based out of Sheridan, Oregon. He graduated from Triangle Lake High School in 2018, and is pictured here in the Hadsall Creek forest just a few miles above the lake. Logging is an important industry which sustains a large portion of the Triangle Lake community.
