Goose Lake (Oregon–California)
Goose Lake
is a large
alkaline lake
in the
Goose Lake Valley
on the
Oregon
–
California
border in the United States. Like many other lakes in the
Great Basin
, it is a
pluvial lake
that formed from precipitation and melting glaciers during the
Pleistocene
epoch. The north portion of the lake is in
Lake County, Oregon
, and the south portion is in
Modoc County, California
. The mountains at the north end of the lake are part of the
Fremont National Forest
, and the south end of the lake is adjacent to
Modoc National Forest
lands. Most of the valley property around the lake is privately owned agricultural land, though
Goose Lake State Recreation Area
is on the Oregon side of the lake.
