Lake of the Woods is a natural lake spanning over 1,250 acres in the combined Fremont-Winema National Forest and one of southern Oregon's most popular recreation destinations. It has been attracting nature lovers and lake lubbers for more than 100 years. Named for its spectacular setting of dense forests and woodlands, Lake of the Woods is home to many private residential homes, summer cabins, and campsites, and it is an idyllic location for all types of water sports, including canoeing, kayaking, paddle-boarding, tubing, sailing, swimming, and water-skiing. Large sections of the shoreline are made up of wetland areas that are home to a remarkable variety of waterfowl, endemic birds, and mammals.
