Tenmile Lakes are large, shallow, highly productive freshwater lakes. North & South Tenmile Lakes have a collective surface area estimated at approximately 2,000 acres of water with around 1000 parcels of land bordering. A narrow, shallow canal called the "North Lake Canal" connects North & South Tenmile Lakes. Tenmile Lakes is the 4th largest lake in the State of Oregon. It is the most used body of water in Coos County and the 5th most heavily used lake in the state.
The lakes provide numerous angling opportunities. Fishing the excellent populations of steelhead, rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, largemouth bass, catfish, bluegill, and brown bullhead is enjoyed by thousands of people every year.
The lakes are in a picturesque setting of calm waters surrounded by mountains and lush natural beauty. Tenmile Lakes are excellent for water skiing, wake boarding, swimming, wading, sailing and boating. Outside temperatures often reach into the 70s during the summer months, and it is always enjoyable for a vacation spot or weekend outing.
Boat Ramp facilities include four boat ramps, three handicap accessible service docks and a fishing dock, large parking areas, picnic tables, a fish cleaning stand, four horseshoe courts, a swimming and wading area, and two handicap accessible restroom buildings with flush toilets. The day use area has a large covered picnic shelter that may be reserved for large gatherings or small picnics. The shelter area contains cold running water and electric outlets.
Campground facilities include 45 RV sites with water and electrical hookups, RV sanitary dump station, restroom/shower building, and large extra vehicle parking area.

Great place for the kids to learn how to climb and scale the play ground. 😀
Level concrete pads good water power services clean restrooms and showers Park grounds needs upgrading, pretty run-down
Just keep an eye out for the guy in dark colored pt cruiser. He seems crazy but harmless as far as I could tell. If you don't mind being filmed and yelled at by one person, the park is a joy for dogs to to sniff around and watch some water fowl do there thing.
Great place for everyone! Usually quiet not to packed. Warm clear water and wildlife like ducks, cranes, mink, crawdads and fish all around. There's a boat launch and docks to fish off of.
