Lookout Point Lake, located near Lowell, Oregon, was created in 1954 when the US Army Corps of Engineers built a dam on the Middle Fork of the Willamette River. The lake has a capacity of 154,400 acre-feet and provides water for irrigation, municipal, and industrial uses. The hydrology of the lake is influenced by two main sources: surface flow from the Willamette River and snowpack from the surrounding mountains. The lake serves as a water source for agricultural production in the area, including crops such as grass seed, hazelnuts, and Christmas trees. The lake also provides recreational opportunities such as fishing, boating, and camping. The area around the lake is managed by the US Forest Service and includes hiking trails, picnic areas, and wildlife viewing.
