A picnic area with bbq stands and fire rings overlooks the lake. But the lake is not the only attraction!

Background:
In 1998, OPRD took part in a land exchange with local government, exchanging three park properties (Armitage, Hendricks Bridge State Wayside, and Howard J. Morton Memorial State Park) for a 25-year lease of federal facilities at Fall Creek Lake and Dexter Lake. Dexter State Recreation Site is one of those properties. Dexter Reservoir is one of 13 multi-purpose water projects built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the Willamette Valley. The reservoir was completed in 1954, and Lane County managed the site until the 1998 land exchange with OPRD.
