Oregon's Lakes and Reservoirs

Oregon’s diverse landscape features a vast array of freshwater bodies, ranging from the 1,943-foot-deep volcanic caldera of Crater Lake to Siltcoos Lake, the largest on the coast. These waters serve critical roles, with reservoirs like Wickiup and Detroit managing major river systems like the Deschutes and North Santiam. High-elevation gems like Suttle and Clear Lake offer crystal-clear mountain waters, while the high desert reservoirs of Prineville and Agate provide essential irrigation and recreation in the state's more arid regions.
