The Fall Creek Lake project is 25 miles SE of Eugene. The dam is a rockfill structure with a gated concrete spillway and oulet works for regulating lake levels. It was completed in 1966 at a cost of $22 million.

The land surrounding Fall Creek Lake is protected and managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to provide habitat for many species of waterfowl, as well as upland game and nongame wildlife.

Lane County maintains two day-use parks near the dam. The Corps operates the Upper End Campground and several mini campsites.

The SKY camp is an outdoor recreation and education facility, available for gruop use by calling Springfield Kiwanis Club at 541-937-3355.
