Lost Creek Lake is located just 30 miles northeast of Medford on Crater Lake Highway 62. past the town of Shady Cove in the Joseph H. Stewart State Park Day Use Area. The lake is impounded by William L. Jess Dam which was constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1977 for flood control. The lake and dam were the first completed elements of the multi-purpose Rogue River Basin Project, consisting of Lost Creek Lake, Applegate Lake and the Elk Creek project. The lake is located approximately 27 miles (43 km) (straight line) northeast of Medford, Oregon.The park is about 40 miles from Crater Lake National Park, and makes an excellent jumping-off point for an exploration of southern Oregon. A large fish hatchery – the Cole Rivers Hatchery - is open for self-guided tours.
