Dexter State Recreation Site

Park Overview

Dexter State Recreation Site, on the western edge of Dexter Reservoir, provides convenient access to the reservoir with docks and a two lane launch ramp.  A picnic area with bbq stands and fire rings overlooks the lake.  But the lake is not the only attraction!  A popular 18-hole disc golf course winds it way through oaks and Douglas fir trees and you can reach nearby Elijah Bristow State Park through a system of connecting trails that follow the Middle Fork of the Willamette River.

Water Recreation

• To check water levels, go to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers website. 
• A life jacket loaner station is located near the boat ramp with life jackets of various sizes. Be aware of obstructions beneath the surface. Wearing a life jacket, and making sure it fits properly, saves lives. 
• Boaters: check ahead for obstructions on the Oregon State Marine Board's Reported Obstructions and Alerts page.
