Goose Lake State Park

Goose Lake State Park in New Pine Creek, Oregon offers a convenient paved boat ramp for paddlers and boaters accessing this popular recreation lake. The day-use area includes parking, picnic tables, and vault toilet facilities. The lake is a scenic destination known for wildlife viewing, including waterfowl and mule deer, making it an attractive spot for both paddling and fishing.

Note that Goose Lake is relatively shallow, and water levels can fluctuate seasonally. During low water periods, paddlers may need to carry their craft to the water's edge rather than use the ramp. A nearby 48-site campground makes the area suitable for overnight trips. The park is accessed from US Highway 395 near the Oregon-California border, with Cave Lake Campground available as an alternative camping option within 10 miles. Check current conditions before your visit, as water levels and accessibility can vary.

The Campground at Cave Lake is little used and the perfect place for a week-end or week long getaway.
