Lake Owyhee State Park lies next to a 53-mile-long lake formed by Owyhee Dam.
Breathtaking views of the Owyhee Mountains await. A boat trip up the lake (we
sell fuel, ice, and food to help you stock up) from the park is one of the many
not-to-be-missed experiences in eastern Oregon. Look closely! Bighorn sheep and
pronghorn antelope live here, as do golden eagles, coyotes, mule deer, wild
horses and (rarely) mountain lions. Critters aren't your game? Rockhounds and
hikers are welcome in this wilderness paradise. Use the park as your base camp
to explore the badlands of Oregon.
The road to Lake Owyhee Reservoir is a very scenic and picturesque drive, but
please drive cautiously. The roadway is narrow and moderately steep. Drive
slowly and be prepared to yield to other campers and boats as you enter and
leave this recreation area.
The main campground (McCormack) has 31 electric and tent sites, showers, a boat
ramp, tepees, a wastewater dump station, and more. The Indian Creek campground
has 27 electric sites, fuel, ice and a boat ramp. The Gordon Gulch day-use area
has a boat ramp and a large, shaded picnic area.
