Goose Lake State Recreation Area is a cool, shady destination teeming with wildlife on the Oregon-California border. Its grassy expanses make it an inviting place to camp. 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, fire pits, electrical hookups and a dump station. Brochures are available at the campground that provide information about things to see and do in the area.
