Fish Lake in the High Cascades: A Historic Legacy

By David Turner, MA '74 (art history), and Rolf Anderson

Nestled in the forests above the headwaters of Oregon’s majestic McKenzie River, the Fish Lake historic site has countless stories to tell of the people who occupied the site for different purposes for hundreds of years. Fish Lake in the High Cascades: A Historic Legacy documents this unique site. Over two hundred pages, the book features twelve chapters on the site’s history, filled with stories told by people who have worked there, 175 color and historic photographs, and twenty-two maps. “This book is dedicated to the many caretakers of the Fish Lake Historic Site dating back to 1906,” said Rolf Anderson, one of the book’s authors. “Without their love, hard work and dedication, this remarkable place would not have persisted for today’s public enjoyment.”
