Prineville Reservoir State Park Update: As the water continues to drop and now it has gotten to the point of being unsafe for people to launch motorized boats from Prineville day use, starting today the launch is closed to motorized launching. All non-motorized is still allowed but the walk to the water increases about 3 feet every day.

You can still try and launch at County Boat Ramp, but we would encourage nothing longer than 12 feet.

If you have questions please contact Park Manager Chris Gerdes at 541-416-0645 Ext. 102.
