There is always Lake Billy Chinook, Prineville Res.
Those could be interesting, a bit of a haul from here but not too bad. Looks like Prineville is down to 70% already. Billy Chinook looks to be full.
Diamond Lake with full services, and a little further down the road is Lost Creek Lake which has a lot of boat in campgrounds and full service
Actually there's no boat-in campgrounds on Lost Creek Lake (there is a marina though and a state park road access campground/RV park). There are a few places one might stealth-camp on shore, in the north arm. Also some possible anchorages there where the valley slope is less steep. Rest of the lake is mostly steep & deep shoreline. Lovely when full though, paddled there a couple times earlier this summer. Applegate lake has several boat-in campgrounds...about the same distance from here as Lost Creek but a lot farther from your location. Lake of the woods is mixed sailing in my experience - the north end gets fairly clean flow but the rest of the lake is a good challenge, meaning, swirly gusty due to surrounding topography. Pretty though (except on motorboat-crazy summer weekends). ….a great lake to sail. Elk Lake, Cultus Lake, Crescent Lake and a few others are all good sailing lakes on the Cascades Lakes Highway. Lake of the Woods near Klammath is also good. Very exciting to have my M15 now and get on the water. That's what it's really all about! cheers, John -- John Schinnerer - M.A., Whole Systems Design -------------------------------------------- - Eco-Living - Whole Systems Design Services People - Place - Learning - Integration john@eco-living.net - 510.982.1334 http://eco-living.net http://sociocracyconsulting.com
