Get your heart beating on the brilliant whitewater of McKenzie River - South Fork. The Waldo Lake Trail is a great hiking trail in close proximity to Bongo Lake, and you can never get enough of the fine skiing at Willamette Pass. Bongo Lake sees pretty high levels of precipitation; the month of December is the wettest with most of the rain, and the driest month of the year is July.
This lake is so wonderful. Don't
 
               forget to explore Klovdahl Bay while you're here at Bongo Lake, and let's not forget Klovdahl Creek which is a stream that you may run into during your stay. Yeah, come here to Bongo Lake for a wonderful time. A short visit to Lillian Falls is always worthwhile, and Black Meadows is a pretty site any time of year. If you need a place to stay Best Western Oakridge Inn is a delightful choice; whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Hills Creek.

Winopee Lake
15 miles away
Went to Winopee lake this weekend...it was a little dissapointing because the lake is about 45% covered with reeds and lilly pads. The Eastern shore is the only one you can accesst the water without having to wade through reeds. There is quite a few algae blooms so swimming isn't an option. Overall, the view was nice but not spectacular. There are three decent campsites at the lake, popular with horse camps. The best of the three sites is the one on the Eastern bank, take the first trail you come accross before reaching the junction for sno-shoe lake. The second and third campsites are on the West bank and are a little harder to find...head for the clifs and you are there....

Davis Lake
16 miles away
This website needs updating. I was there on Aug. 2nd,3rd, and 4th 2007. There are a LOT of bass there. We saw NO trout at all, and no one we talked to had caught or seen one. I was there with 2 others for bass fishing. there is no camping at the west boat launch area. Day use only. There are 2 camp sites on the east side. The Lava Flow site is closed, and has been for some time. There is a primative site there. No water or elec. and very primative boat launching area. You have to pole or row through the tules to get out on the lake. The old campground is closed because of Eagles nest there. Eagles are no longer on the endangerd spieces list. Why not re-open that area. it has a great boat ramp. Bass fishing was great, but not many large fish when we were there. Lots of smaller bass. We were told it was real good in late June and first half of July. We will try again next year....
