About: -
The 52-mile-long, 13,900-acre reservoir is located approximately 50 miles south
of Ontario. The lake is in a remote area, and is considered an excellent warm-water fishery. Lands around the reservoir are mostly public
lands under control of the Bureau of Land Management. Boat ramps are provided at
four locations, two operated by the Oregon State Parks system, and two operated
by Malheur County Waterworks. The lake also provides excellent waterfowl
hunting, and the surrounding hills and canyons offer many opportunities for the
pursuit of upland game birds. A variety of wildlife may be observed in the
reservoir area, including wild horses, bighorn sheep, golden eagles, pelicans,
and cormorants. When full the Owyhee offers fishing, water skiing, boating, and spectacular scenery. It
can be reached by traveling 31 miles southwest of Nyssa, Oregon, on paved roads.
State and county parks are available for use here.
