Fishhawk Lake is unique for three reasons. The lake is one of the few, if any, that exist in Northwest Oregon, it is a private lake, and it is a man-made lake. The lake is about 1-1/4 miles long and has about 2-3/4 miles of shoreline. It is approximately 100 acres in size and some 800 ft. above sea level. Three springs and a mountain fed stream assure a year round flow of water into the lake. The primary feeder stream is Fishhawk Creek, entering at the east end of the lake and exiting at the west end of the lake. The lake depth is about four feet where the creek enters, to about 30 feet where the creek exits. An earthen dam, 395’ long and 35’ high, is located at the west end of the lake, featuring a 42’ diameter, 20′ deep “Glory Hole” spillway, that maintains the desired lake water level.
