The lake closed to fishing Oct. 31 and was scheduled to reopen May 22, 2023. However, currently there is still snow on the road and the gate remains closed. The Forest Service plans to open the gate at the end of June.
Gold lake has special fishing regulations in place that include no retention of rainbow trout, no limit on brook trout, fly-fishing only (has to be a fly rod, no spinning rigs) and barbless hooks. Oregon State Marine Board passed a new regulation in 2020 that allows ELECTRIC motors only on Gold Lake.
Gold Lake is a 100-acre lake located north of the Willamette Pass summit off Hwy. 58 approximately 23 miles southeast of Oakridge.
