Agency Lake is a natural lake located west of Chiloquin in Klamath County. Technically, it is the northern arm of Upper Klamath Lake, however it is separated by a narrow channel. Its primary inflow is the Wood River, while its outflow is Upper Klamath Lake. The lake is very shallow, and experiences high winds. [1] Agency Lake Resort is located on the west side of the lake.[2]
The Wood River Wetland (BLM area) is a restored wetland that includes easy, winding walking/biking trails with beautiful views of the lake, the mountains and wildlife, particularly a wide variety of birds, although you might see groundhogs popping out of burrows along the trails, too. The entrance to the parking lot at the trailhead is off Modoc Point Road that runs along the east side of the lake. Sevenmile Creek comes through the wetland area from the northwest and enters Agency Lake, as well.
