Eagle from Road#090
There is an eagle's nest that can be
viewed
on other side of the reservoir from Road#090.
The eagles are usually perched in nearby trees.
They have lived here for years and have
individual names. (Once somebody told us
the names and how long each nest had been
established)

but during hunting season they disappear.

Bald Eagle at Wickiup Reservoir
We have seen several bald eagles in this
area.
The biggest bald eagle we ever saw was at the
junction of Road#44 and Road#4260. He was
on the beach and when he spread his wings was
the most incredible sight... must of been an 8-10'
wing span as he stood tall and brave for what
seemed like an eternity.

FIRE RESTRICTIONS
It is your responsibility to know
what fire restrictions are in place.
Axe, shovel, and 5 gallons of water
required for dispersed camping.
(11,200) was named
for the "wickiup'' poles of the shelters made
by the Indians who would camp here when
fishing and hunting. The poles would be
covered with tree limbs and brush. In 1949
when Wickiup Reservoir was filled with water
the poles were still standing.
