Low Water Levels at Green Peter

Green Peter Reservoir - Sweet, OR (Linn County)

The deep drawdown of the reservoir has begun and both boat ramps are high and dry. Until the reservoir fills up again this winter the reservoir will be unsafe to fish and loaded with suspended sediment. The outflow and the river downstream will be similarly off-color for the next few months before the U.S. Army Corps begins to store water again in December.

The reservoir is usually stocked with trout in the spring. In the summer they retreat to deeper water where it is cooler. Also, as a reminder to anglers, fishing for and harvesting Chinook in the lake and the rivers above is prohibited. Any Chinook caught in Green Peter reservoir must be released unharmed.

For the latest information on water levels at Green Peter Reservoir check with the Army Corps of Engineers' website for more information.
