Lake Owyhee State Park, State park and reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon, United States.
Lake Owyhee State Park spans 2,000 acres along a 53-mile reservoir within deep canyons formed by volcanic rock formations.
The Owyhee Dam, completed in 1932, created the reservoir and has provided irrigation for agricultural development throughout eastern Oregon.
The name Owyhee commemorates Hawaiian workers who lost their lives during a Hudson's Bay Company expedition in this region in 1819.
The park maintains two campgrounds with electrical hookups, boat ramps, and water facilities, operating seasonally from April through October.
The lake's geological formations, only accessible by boat, reveal multicolored volcanic rock layers within the narrow desert canyon walls.
