Jubilee Lake is a 92.33acres man-made lake in the Umatilla National Forest in the northern corner of Union County in the U.S. state of Oregon.[1] [2] It is located 19miles north of Elgin and about 11miles south of the Washington border, at an elevation of 4761feet.[6] [7] Its basin spans Union, Umatilla, and Wallowa counties.[8] The lake was made for recreation in 1968 when an earthen dam, 350feet long and 50feet high, was constructed on Motett Creek. A U.S. Forest Service campground at the lake has 53 sites and is the most heavily used campground in the Umatilla National Forest. Fishing and swimming are the most popular activities at the lake. A 2.8miles trail around the shore was designated a National Recreation Trail in 1981.[2] [3] [4] [9]
Jubilee Lake is considered mesotrophic, with an intermediate level of biological activity,[2] and its drainage basin receives about 50inches of precipitation annually.[3] Rainbow trout are stocked in the lake for anglers, and a youth fishing event is held at the lake each year.[10] [11]
