Overview

About this park

Junipers Reservoir, also known as Muddy Creek Reservoir, is a man-made lake in Lake County, Oregon, United States, named for the junipers in the area.

Sitting at an elevation of 4,872 ft (1,485 m), the reservoir has a surface area of 170 acres (69 ha) and is no more than 7.9 ft (2.4 m) deep. Muddy Creek and two other streams flow into the lake.
