If you’re looking for a remote getaway to enjoy a rugged serene landscape, then look no further. Lake Owyhee State Park is truly a remote experience in the middle of over a thousand acres of majestic mountain and desert landscape.  The Park is steeped in history as well. The famed Hudson's Bay Company even led an expedition to the site in 1819 and the Park has been named in honor of the Hawaiian laborers (Owyhee being a variation of Hawaii at the time) who were fatally attacked by Snake Indians during their service to the company. Lake Owyhee is Oregon’s longest reservoir, spanning more than 53 miles within the spectacular Owyhee Canyon. Formed by the Owyhee River before being dammed in the 1930s, the canyon showcases a colorful display of volcanic rock layers and formations (a favorite spot for rock hounds).   Despite its extraordinary length, Lake Owyhee is relatively shallow, with an average depth of only 81 feet. This makes it a favorite fishing destination for warm water catches, such as largemouth bass, black and white crappie, and catfish. Lake Owyhee State Park is located in eastern Oregon near the Idaho border, approximately 45 miles south of Ontario.  The Park has two campgrounds, total of 52 electrical, 9 tent sites, and two cabins.
