Factoid: With the beauty of the McKenzie River, this scenic 1,280 acre lake offers many recreational
opportunities. There are several boat launches on the reservoir and it is popular trout
fishing spot. There are visitor viewpoints at both sides of the Cougar Dam that offer
spectacular views of the valley downstream and the vistas upstream around the lake. Most of
the recreation areas are located within the mountainous Willamette National Forest and are
managed by the U.S. Forest Service.
