Mann Lake is located 80 miles south of
the town of Burns in the sage-covered high desert country of southeastern
Oregon. Mann Lake covers more than 275 acres and has a maximum depth
of 14 feet. The lake features 2 boat-launching areas (boats with motors
are permitted) and 3 camping areas on the north end of the lake. The
weather there is extreme and ever changing, the camping conditions are
rough and the location is remote, but the early season Oregon fishing
is excellent and the rugged beauty of the scenery is well worth the
trip.
Mann Lake is home to an abundance of Lahontan Cutthroat trout, sub-specie
of cutthroat that is the only salmonid that can survive in Mann, which
is among the most alkaline of Oregon lakes. As such Mann Lake is the
Oregon State repository for the Lahontan Cutthroat, and where all of
the states brood stock are raised. |
