    Goose Lake is a large shallow lake located across the state border of Oregon and Northeastern California. Goose Lake attracts wildlife watchers, campers and boaters. It is habitat to many flora and fauna including a large herd of mule deer (which spend much of the time in the campground), Western Grebe and Long-billed Curlew. Recreational activities on or around the lake include kayaking, canoeing, and hunting, but not fishing.

    Formerly it was the source of the Pit River (which flows south to the Sacramento River) but modern agriculture has lowered its water lever so that the river source has dried up. In some years the lake dries up altogether. When the lake is full, it has a maximum depth of 24 feet.

    Goose Lake State Recreation Area
    Oregon State Parks

    Goose Lake State Recreation Area is a green and shady lakeside destination of wildlife and wildlife watchers on the Oregon-California border. Its grassy expanse also makes it an inviting place to camp or find boating access. 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.
