Proposed Development Overlooking Lake Billy Chinook

Lake Billy Chinook Threatened by Measure 37 Claim

Lake Billy Chinook is one of the most popular fishing, recreation and camping destinations in Central Oregon.  It is currently surrounded mostly by a state park, however, one property owner plans to use Measure 37 to build an unspecified number of houses on a plateau where the Deschutes River and Crooked River meet the lake. Sportsmen and campers come to Lake Billy Chinook for bass and trout fishing, and also for its splendid isolation, natural surroundings, and unspoiled view of Mount Jefferson.  These things are all threatened if these 5,000 acres are developed to maximize private profit. Is Lake Billy Chinook destined to become another Lake Shasta or Tahoe?
