as well as the solitude of our mountain forests and crystal clear lakes and streams.
Lake County is one of the few places in Oregon fortunate enough to be able to boast of its abundant wildlife and majestic views. It is possible to see everything from Wild Horses and Big Horn Sheep to Mule Deer, Elk and everything in between. Our Lakes and Streams are loaded with Fish and we have an average of 320 Sunny Days every year to enjoy all of this!
Lake
County is the Hang-Gliding Capitol of the West and the Competitions are held
every year on Black Cap Mountain which over looks the Town of Lakeview.
The Sunstone, (the Plush Diamond), is the State Gemstone. They are only found in Lake County and can be mined or picked up in the Public Sunstone Collecting Site. The Gemstones are worth money and when cut and placed into settings, make some of the most unique and beautiful jewelry.
Lakeview is the Tallest Town in Oregon and is the home of "Ole Perpetual", the only Hot Water Geyser in the entire Pacific Northwest, which spouts a plume of hot water over 60' in the air about every 30 seconds.
WARNER MOUNTAIN SKI AREA is only 10 miles Northeast of Lakeview and is the only privately owned Ski-Area in the entire state of Oregon. Because of this, the ticket prices are extremely low. The Ski-Area has 730' vertical slope, a new triple chair lift, snowboarding is allowed and NO lift lines !!
Give us call or send an email and let us introduce you to this Land of Enchantment where the "Old West" is still alive in atmosphere, charisma, and attitude. A place where neighbors are still neighborly and our children are still considered to be our communities greatest assets :)
