Dexter State Recreation Site, State recreation area in Lane County, Oregon
Description
Dexter State Recreation Site stretches along the western shore of Dexter Reservoir, providing boat docks, a two-lane launch ramp, and expansive picnic areas. The grounds include an 18-hole disc golf course that winds through native oak and Douglas fir trees.
History
The site was initially managed by Lane County before the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department took control through a land exchange in 1998. This change expanded recreation opportunities at the location.
Culture
The recreation site serves as a gathering place for local communities, featuring an 18-hole disc golf course that winds through native oak and Douglas fir trees.
Practical
A life jacket loaner station near the boat ramp helps visitors prepare for water activities. Specific regulations about collecting wood apply here due to emerald ash borer protection, so visitors should ask staff about restrictions.
