Summertime is the time to get out in the fresh air and have an Oregon adventure, and you may as well find yourself a spot to cool off while you’re at it! Head to Lake Billy Chinook to rent a houseboat and get away from it all.
When the Round Butte Dam was built in 1964, it created Lake Billy Chinook, a 28-mile-long reservoir in central Oregon.

The lake covers 4,000 acres, and has an average depth of 102 feet. It’s a great spot for recreation, including fishing, boating, and waterskiing.
