WILD ROGUE
Welcome to MANN LAKE RECREATION SITE!
Located below the east face of Steens Mountain, Mann Lake attracts anglers as much for its remote,
rugged splendor as for its abundant Lahontan cutthroat trout. These trout are supremely adapted to
survive alkaline desert waters and without them fisheries like Mann Lake could not exist. The lake
was named for an early rancher and has satisfied fishers for over forty years. Anglers converge as
early as March and into October. Shallow throughout its 200 acres, the lake features extensive weed
beds and great shorelines for wading.
