Go for a swim in Loon Lake

Published: Tuesday, May 6th, 2008 Go for a swim in Loon Lake Loon Lake has about 285 surface acres and is located about eight miles up Mill Creek Road, which leaves state Highway 38 about 13 miles east of Reedsport.

Very popular among pleasure boaters, Loon Lake is a great swimming hole, too, with several excellent beaches and shallow areas for swimmers with varying experience.

It also has excellent populations of largemouth bass and bluegills for those hoping to drop a line in the water and go fishing. Brown bullheads, white crappie and rainbow and cutthroat trout, and kokanee also are present. At least three bass weighing more than 10 pounds apiece have been taken from this lake.
