Howard Prairie Lake is a reservoir located 4,526 feet (1,380 m) above sea level in Jackson County, Oregon, United States.
The lake is formed by the 100-foot (30 m) tall Howard Prairie Dam, which impounds Beaver Creek, in the Klamath River watershed.
[1] The reservoir was created in 1958 when the 100-foot (30 m) tall earth fill dam was completed by the Talent Division of the Rogue River Basin Project.
[1][2] A canal diverting water from nearby Little Butte Creek, (in the Rogue River watershed), to the lake was also completed.
[1] Boating, water skiing, fishing, and camping at the three public campgrounds are popular activities at the lake.
