Hills Creek Lake is set in rugged mountain country within the Willamette National Forest. The scenic 2,735 acre lake with its 44 miles of forested shoreline provides many opportunities for outdoor recreation.
There are five parks around the lake, two of which have overnight camping. There are also three boat ramps available. The Corps developed a 130-acre wildlife and wetland area below Hills Creek Dam, which has open fields, small ponds, riverside habitat, beaver dams and food plots.
