Camped here last summer on the recommendation of a friend. It's a family friend spot with day use…read moreand camping. Picnic tables, beach, I think I remember grills, a big grassy area - lots of space to spread out and enjoy the day. Seems like a GREAT place to take family and kids. As a county park, there is a no-alcohol policy. While I'm sure some people discreetly partake, that policy adds to the family friendly atmosphere. Our campsite was in the middle with very little privacy or shade, but we walked around and it was one of the only "bad" spots in the place. I reserved it unseen and shortly before we went, so I was just glad to have a spot. If I come again, I'll reserve in advance and get a water view. For us, the camping was secondary as we spent most of the day out on the water. There is a boat launch for larger vessels and a great big parking area to leave your truck and trailer. We were able to park near the grass and air up our inflatable SUPs pretty close to where we put in. We put in near the beach and spent the day paddling around and it was great fun. It's a lovely lake and we had a great time, but not the "most amazing" lake to paddle by any means. I would come again, next time with friends!

At the end of my transaction I asked a question around mask maintenance and the gentleman that was checking me out offered to help me burn off excess film from my goggles, great customer service.

I've been consistently impressed with this business and strongly encourage all dive hobbyists to check them out.

Do not pass up on the opportunity to go out with him if you can find that he still has an open spot!

I decided to drive outside of Eugene and explore this area with a friend a few months back and…read morerecently I went again last weekend. It's a nice drive out to Dorena Lake and this park is really easy to find. It sits right where Rat Creek enters the lake and has a large parking lot. When I went the boat launch was closed but it looks like you can do that here. I saw a few people fishing and the view itself is very pretty. The sparkling water with the trees surrounding it is really nice. Recently when I went there was a lot of broken glass scattered on the beach in all the areas I walked. I had my dogs with me and was a little nervous to hang out there for much longer. I definitely wouldn't want to be barefoot here and if you have kids, be careful. On a hot day it might be nice to come hang out here but if there's this much glass I would probably find somewhere else. There is normally a nice trail you can take around the lake but after the recent snow storm it's closed due to so much debris and fallen trees on the path. When it's all cleared out it will be great for walking and biking. It would be really nice to bring kayaks out here, there weren't any boats on the water when I went recently. There are bathrooms near the parking lot.

I had ordered the wrong size ( my fault) and they were so nice to accept it for exchange - I was surprised they had the replacement ready for me when I walked in. All the staff were astonished at a web order customer from California stepped into the store in Oregon. Guess not too many people do that.. Left with more my original list - lots of flies, DWR finisher, and more skagit tips... They were very nice and helped me select the flies for the coho salmon on the Siuslaw and Alsea rivers... Definitely a must go to for the fly angler when you visit the area.
