Which Arm of Lake Billy Chinook is the BEST to Catch Fish? | The Cove Palisades State Park Oregon 4K
Crooked? Deschutes? Metolius? Which Arm of Lake Billy Chinook @ The Cove Palisades State Park in Central Oregon is the BEST to Catch Fish?
This 4K Video captures the Lower Deschutes Day Use Area Boat Ramp/Launch/Dock, the Floating Deployable Restrooms, and and finishes with some Silent Perspectives of absolutely gorgeous and incredible Lake Billy Chinook from the Lower Deschutes Day Use Area Zone.
***Please note that Google Maps is wrong. There is an Upper Deschutes Day Use Area AND a Lower Deschutes Day Use Area. They are nearby each other, both have their own Ramp/Launch/Dock, and they are connected by a Shoreline Trail. For some reason Google Maps has the Upper Deschutes Day Use Area INACCURATELY labeled as the Lower Deschutes Day Use Area, and doesn't have the Lower Deschutes Day Use Area even labeled AT ALL even though it acknowledges the Boat Ramp and infrastructure is there.....so this IS correct, Google Maps is wrong.***
The Cove Palisades State Park is easily a Top 3 State Park in the entire State of Oregon! Lake Billy Chinook's claim to fame is that its the confluence of 3 National Wild & Scenic Rivers - Crooked River, Deschutes River & Metolius River into a truly EPIC Lake-River-Canyon High Desert Wonderland! Thus this multi-tendrilled Lake is broken up into the Crooked River Arm, Deschutes River Arm & Metolius River Arm, each with its own very well developed infrastructure of Day Use Areas, Boat Ramp/Launches and very well groomed & manicured Shoreline Hiking Trails. Lake Billy Chinook is truly a World-Class Watersport Mecca of Boating, Fishing & Kayaking.
This area was explored on March 19, 2024. The weather was in the 30's in the AM up the the 50's by late afternoon. Due to some pre-scheduled hydroelectric dam work by PGE, the water levels were 2 FT - 5 FT lower than normal, with water levels expected to return back up to normal levels within weeks before peak season.
The road is very well paved throughout The Cove Palisades State Park and all the way through to Perry South Campground. From Perry South Campground to Monty Campground it is a relatively bumpy Forest Road - most cars should be able to make it if you drive slowly and cautiously, particularly around some blind corners on a very steep road, so exercise maximum caution driving to Monty Campground! That said, if done prudently, it is not a difficult drive, high clearance and 4WD are NOT required in my humble opinion. Always check for weather and of course do so at your own risk!
