[caption id="attachment_117" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Property #1667"][/caption] Lake County is a land of stark beauty. Located in south-central Oregon, only about 90 minutes from Bend. It is possible to enjoy, all in one day, the broad expanses of desert, sagebrush and rim rocks as well as the solitude of mountain forests and crystal clear lakes and streams. In Lake County it is possible to see everything from Wild Horses and Big Horn Sheep to Mule Deer, Elk and everything in between. Lakes and streams are loaded with fish and there is an average of 320 sunny days every year to enjoy all of this. Lakeview is the Tallest Town in Oregon and is the home of “Ole Perpetual” the only Hot Water Geyser in the entire Pacific Northwest, which spouts a plume of hot water over 60’ in the air about every 30 seconds. Warner Canyon Ski Area is only 10 miles northeast of Lakeview and is the only privately- owned ski area in the state of Oregon. Because of this the ticket prices are extremely low. Lakeview, established in 1876, sits at the foot of the Warner Mountains. On the edge of the southeastern Oregon High Desert, Lakeview is one of the highest towns in the state. Originally a cattle town serving ranchers, Lakeview is now the business center for the region. Its prime location makes Lakeview a great destination for recreational enthusiasts. Both in town and nearby in Fremont National Forest, a variety of activities can be found. The mix of desert and mountain terrain offers countless opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, rock hunting, hang gliding, golfing and fishing. The Lakeview Nature Trail gives visitors a chance to get a good look at the area's native plants and wildlife. Another favorite attraction is Old Perpetual Geyser, which is just north of town. Several events light up Lakeview's summer months. The Lakeview County Fair and Round-Up is said to be one of the Northwest's oldest amateur rodeos.
