Black Butte Lake has become a popular
destination for paddling and boating. The
spring is the ideal time to visit, when mild
air temperatures and blooming wildflowers
create a picturesque setting. The weather is
warm but not oppressive, and crowds are
smaller before the summer rush. Expect
clear, sunny skies and fewer visitors.
In the summer, the heat can make daytime
visits unpleasant or even dangerous. For
this reason, it's best to paddle early if
you go during the summer months. However,
the reward is amazing views as the sun's
rays illuminate the water's surface.
During the winter, only the Buckhorn
Campground remains open year-round, while
the Orland Buttes Campground closes from
October through March.
Visitors can access the lake from one of
three boat launches located at the Buckhorn,
Orland Buttes, and Eagle Pass Recreation
Areas. Black Butte Lake offers a wealth of
activities, including fishing, camping, jet
skiing, water skiing, and wakeboarding.
For anglers, the lake is teeming with fish,
making it a prime destination for kayak
fishing and other angling pursuits, whether
you're an experienced fisherman or just
starting out.
In summary, Black Butte Lake provides an
unparalleled outdoor experience, with
opportunities for paddling, fishing,
camping, and more. It's well worth the drive
to enjoy this scenic destination.
