Recreation
Recreation on or near the lake includes boating and fishing, camping and picnicking. Large populations of rough fish such as northern pikeminnows and suckers limit the catch of fish such as rainbow trout considered desirable by sports fishers. Strong winds, big waves, and annual fluctuations in the lake level also make fishing more difficult.
Several picnicking and boat launches run by the county, the state, or the Willamette National Forest are located around the lake. Some of the ramps become disconnected from the lake when the water is low, but the ramps near Lowell and the dam remain operational all year. Camping spots are available at Black Canyon Campground, managed by the United States Forest Service, near the southeast end of the lake.

Famous quotes containing the word recreation:
“Playing snooker gives you firm hands and helps to build up character. It is the ideal recreation for dedicated nuns.”
—Archbishop Luigi Barito (b. 1922)
“Media mystifications should not obfuscate a simple, perceivable fact; Black teenage girls do not create poverty by having babies. Quite the contrary, they have babies at such a young age precisely because they are poor—because they do not have the opportunity to acquire an education, because meaningful, well-paying jobs and creative forms of recreation are not accessible to them ... because safe, effective forms of contraception are not available to them.”
—Angela Davis (b. 1944)
