One can experience the vast expanse of high desert, the solitude of mountain forests, and crystal clear lakes, streams, waterfalls and hot springs ... All in one day. It's a great place to live and raise a family-- call the chamber for a relocation packet, and consider moving to the friendliest town in Oregon.
It's a photographers paradise with everything from mustangs, wild burro's (left over from the gold mining days), cougar, antelope, big horn sheep, elk and so much more. Our Lakes and Streams are loaded with fish and we enjoy an average of 300 Sunny Days every year!
The Oregon Outback National Scenic Byway provides a wonderful chance to experience the best of the west. This 170 mile long drive is a showcase of breath-taking landscapes untouched by civilization, with an unparalleled view of wildlife.

Oregon State's gemstone is the Sunstone, also known as the Plush Diamond. Sunstones are found only in Lake County and can be mined or picked up in the Public Sunstone Collecting Site.

Besides sunstones, rock hounding is a popular hobby here, we have unique, rare rocks and our very own Rock Shops, one in Lakeview and one in Plush.
