Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox body of water
Emigrant Lake is a reservoir located Шаблон:Convert southeast of Ashland, Oregon, at the southern end of the Rogue Valley.[1] It has an elevation of Шаблон:Convert above sea level.[2] The lake has an average surface area of Шаблон:Convert, and an average volume of Шаблон:Convert.[3] The lake is impounded by Emigrant Lake Dam, which stands Шаблон:Convert above the surrounding farmland, and is located on Emigrant Creek at the west side of the lake. The spillway is at the northern tip of the lake. Emigrant Creek is a tributary of Bear Creek.
History
The reservoir was created in 1924 when the original Шаблон:Convert concrete arch dam was built by the Talent Irrigation District for irrigation and flood control.[4] In 1960, the United States Bureau of Reclamation enlarged the dam into the Шаблон:Convert rock-filled structure standing today.[4][5]
Recreation area
Emigrant Lake features a large recreation area. This includes a 42-site, full-hookup campground,[6] picnic areas, and two Шаблон:Convert water slides open from Memorial Day to Labor Day.[7] As of 2022, the slides are no longer operating due to the cost of repairs.[8]
Drought conditions and archaeological study
In October 2014, drought conditions prompted the Bureau of Reclamation to order an archaeological study to protect artifacts that have become exposed due to the lake being at less than 10 percent of capacity.[9] During the 2020–21 North American drought, the lake reached 3% capacity.[10]
