A Beautiful Day to be at Detroit Lake, Oregon

 

One of the biggest recreational draws in our area is Detroit Lake.  There are several areas to launch boats, picnic and enjoy the surroundings.  Mongold State Park is just one of the four prime visitor areas on the lake. 

I visited Mongold yesterday with my daughter and her friend.  We took a small lunch, our chairs, a blanket and books and decided to get some sun!  It was a beautiful day.  The water is still chilly but clear.

Mongold has a great spot to launch boats and plenty of parking for trailers.  There is a separate parking lot for the day use folks.  There are several shaded picnic areas with tables.  The restrooms are clean and there are showers for use after using the swimming area.  The view to Piety Island is nice and a short walking trail leads to more picnic tables.  This is a pay per use park and it will cost you $3.00 at the entrance.

Oh, you forgot to mention the best part about Detroit Lake, it has some great fishing! I've written a few posts about the 2 hour drive that my dad and I take to fish there. But, I'm glad to see that is getting warm finally and I'm guessing you might see me down your way with in the next 2 weeks with fishing pole in hand!

Todd, you are so right!  I am not much of a fisherman so I forget to add these things.  My oldest daughter, Kendra and her husband camped at Hoover on Saturday night and she caught a fish!  So yes, the fishing is great if Kendra can catch a fish!  Honk when you drive by Mill City!  Better yet, stop at Giovanni's for Pizza and bread sticks!
