About Goose Lake State Recreation Area
Goose Lake State Recreation Area sits on the east shore of Goose Lake along the Oregon-California border. Its campground offers shade trees and irrigated grass beside the lake. Visitors often see migrating waterfowl in spring and early summer, while sandhill cranes and bald eagles appear through the warmer months and into fall. Mule deer often feed near an old homesteader's orchard inside the campground. The park works as a base for exploring Hart Mountain Wildlife Refuge, the Warner Mountains, and obsidian beds in the Modoc National Forest. The park holds International Dark Sky Place certification, which recognizes its very dark night skies. Lakeview, about 15 miles north, supplies fuel, groceries, repairs, and meals.
