An enchanting gem in the heart of Oregon's attractive Lincoln City, the less-than-sweetly named Devils Lake is the 685-acre freshwater lake that was formed by a blockade of dunes from a nearby beach in approximately 14,000 BC. Situated in a unique location on Oregon's Pacific Ocean coast, Devil’s Lake is connected to the ocean by the D River and offers excellent fishing for coho salmon, grass carp, and rainbow trout. Surrounded by riparian life, creeks, beaches, wetlands, forests, and oceans, Devils Lake is an area of outstanding biodiversity, and nature-lovers will delight in the wealth of bird species. You might see coots, common grebes, cormorants, egrets, and various species of ducks.
