“a green & shady lakeside destination full of wildlife”

Goose Lake State Recreation Area is a green and shady lakeside destination of wildlife and wildlife watchers on the Oregon-California border. Its grassy expanse also makes it an inviting place to camp or find boating access. It is home to many species of birds and other wildlife including a large herd of mule deer which spend much of the time in the 48-site campground. The park provides hot showers, grassy areas suitable for tents, paved sites, shade trees, fireplaces, electrical hookups, telephone and a dump station. Brochures are available at the campground that provide information about things to see and do in the area

Just 190 miles from Bend, Goose Lake State Recreation Area is a place where you can fulfill your wildlife needs.

We visited and stayed there for the weekend and I must admit it was one of the greatest experiences I have ever had. I love nature, and bird watching. Goose Lake was the total paradise for me and the whole family.

Just take your camping equipment and camp on the grassy areas provided. I would suggest you take your binoculars with you so you can see a variety of bird species (which aren't that human friendly) among the gorgeous tree environment.

People had their boats within the lake and were fishing while we were building our tents. Just 15 minutes north you can find first need shops such as groceries and mini markets so you can buy food and refreshments for your stay.

There are showers and toilets, all very clean, and there are fire rings at all grassy campsites.

Totally recommend it to everyone.
