Eel Lake is a large, deep lake in a chain of water bodies along the Oregon Coast south of the Umpqua River in the United States. The chain includes other large lakes—Clear, North Tenmile, and Tenmile—as well as smaller lakes, which drain into the Pacific Ocean via Tenmile Creek. Steep slopes of the Oregon Coast Range border Eel Lake on the east.] Clear Lake, to the north, drains into the west side of Eel Lake via Clear Creek as do the smaller lakes Edna, Teal, Stuttpelz, and Hall. Water exits Eel Lake via Eel Creek, a tributary of Tenmile Creek. Eel Lake is the source of drinking water for about 1,200 people in and near Lakeside.The lake supports populations of largemouth bass, crappie, stocked rainbow trout, bluegill, steelhead (sea-run rainbow trout), and Coho salmon, the latter of which must be released if caught.
