Agency Lake is a natural lake located west of Chiloquin in Klamath County, Oregon. It is actually the northern arm of Upper Klamath Lake, connected by a narrow channel.[2][3] Its primary inflow is the Wood River, while its outflow is Upper Klamath Lake (indirectly the Link River, Upper Klamath Lake's outflow). The lake has a surface area of approximately 9,000 acres (36 km2).[4] The lake is very shallow, and experiences high winds.[2][5] [Modoc Point Road] runs along the east side.[4] Agency Lake Resort is located on the east side of the lake.[6][7]
