Applegate Lake is a reservoir located near Copper, OR in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. The lake was created in 1980 when the Army Corps of Engineers dammed the Applegate River. The lake provides water for irrigation and recreation, and is home to a variety of fish species including rainbow trout, largemouth bass, and crappie. The hydrology of the lake is influenced by both surface flow and snowpack from the surrounding mountains. Farmers in the area rely on the lake for irrigation, while recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping draw tourists to the area. The lake is also a popular spot for hiking and birdwatching.
