Blue River Reservoir is an artificial impoundment, about 6 miles long, of the Blue River in Lane County in the U.S. state of Oregon. The reservoir is about 1 mile north of Oregon Route 126 in the Willamette National Forest about 45 miles east of Eugene.
In 1968 the United States Army Corps of Engineers built Blue Lake Dam and Saddle Dam about 2 miles from the mouth of the Blue River on the McKenzie River to create a reservoir for flood control and irrigation. Despite frequent blooms of blue-green algae, the lake is heavily used for recreation. Trout are the principal fish, supplemented from local hatcheries.
