Wickiup Reservoir is an angler's paradise. The largest of the Cascade Lakes, which include 12 other lakes, the 11,000-acre lake provides some of the most exceptional fishing in Central Oregon with an abundance of fish species from brown trout to whitefish. Named after the Native American word for dwelling or shelter, Wickiup Reservoir is a true outdoor utopia for outdoor recreation with activities ranging from boating, paddling, and swimming to hiking, mountain biking, camping, and wildlife watching. The shoreline of the lake features six developed campgrounds on Wickiup Reservoir with modern restrooms and running water, and the lake shores boast some of the best wildlife viewing areas in Central Oregon with a variety of nesting and migratory birds, including the Peregrine falcon.
