Detroit Lake State
Recreation Area
Located in the Cascade Mountains, Detroit Lake State Park is
the gateway to beautiful Detroit Lake. The 400-foot-deep lake
was created in 1953 when the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers
completed the Detroit Dam project. The lake is over nine miles
long with more than 32 miles of shore line. This is the spot
for all types of water sports: fishing, boating, swimming,
water skiing, and personal watercraft.
The park has a large campground bordering the lake. Along with
two swimming areas, you'll find two playgrounds, a wildlife
viewing area, and a visitor center with historical exhibits
and a store with gifts, ice, soft drinks, firewood, souvenirs
and educational toys.
