Description
The reservoir covers an area on the Deschutes River which was known as the Wickiup's. Wickiup Reservoir is highly productive, with relatively warm water and cooler deep channels generating some of the finest fishing in Central Oregon.

The ramp is only accessible earlier in the season when water levels are high.
