North Wickiup Boating Site

The reservoir covers an area on the Deschutes River which was known as the Wickiup’s. It was a camping area for Native Americans during the fall. Wickiup Dam was started in 1939, and was completed in 1949.

Wickiup Reservoir is very rich, highly productive, relatively warm water and cooler deep channels generate some of the finest fishing in Central Oregon.

There are two paved boat ramps and parking lots for trailers. There is a boat dock that separates the two ramps. There are also picnic tables and a toilet. In the fall, low water levels may make these ramps inaccessible.
