Olive Lake, Oregon

Nestled on the edge of a lake, high in the Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon, this popular lake and campground is only 8 miles west of the historic Fremont Powerhouse and 12 miles west of the old mining town of Granite.

The campground features 28 campsites and 7 accessible toilet facilities. Other features include a 3-mile hiking trail around the lake with nearby access to wilderness and scenic area trails, a boat ramp and 2 docks.

Besides beautiful scenery, the lake offers many opportunities for wildlife viewing–particularly a nesting pair of osprey that return annually. Activities in this area include fishing, boating, swimming, hiking, hunting, and photography. Within 20 miles are several historic sites.
