Re: The Cove
Lake Billy Chinook sits in the middle of nowhere in Central Oregon. Deep at the bottom of those 600' tall canyon walls is the lake with depths that Ive recorded over 300'.
The lake is fed by 3 rivers. Metolius, Deschutes and Crooked Rivers. All of which are fed directly from snow run off from three of the highest peaks nearby. So the water is very clean and fairly cold.
I havent recorded the actual length (via gps), but it takes 30+ minutes to go from one end to the other (longest stretch) at 40 mph. The real draw here is the weather. Culver Oregon (nearest town 3 miles away) typically has some of the warmest weather in the whole state all summer. Then you add 10 degrees on the water.
The week that we were there Culver averaged 80-85.
