Oswego Lake
Directions

Oswego Lake is a 365-acre body of water situated in Lake Oswego, just south of Portland. Maintained by a private corporation, the lake is mostly surrounded by private homes and offers restricted access primarily reserved for local residents and easement holders. Visitors can still enjoy views of the water and surrounding greenery from nearby public parks and downtown streets.

Quick tip: Because water access is largely restricted to residents, visit George Rogers Park or Millennium Plaza Park nearby for accessible public green space and lake views.

  • Follow all boating and fishing regulations set by local authorities.
