Jubilee Lake is a 92.33-acre (37.36 ha) man-made lake in the Umatilla National Forest in the northern corner of Union County in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is located 19 miles (31 km) north of Elgin and about 11 miles (18 km) south of the Washington border, at an elevation of 4,761 feet (1,451 m). Its basin spans Union, Umatilla, and Wallowa counties. The lake was made for recreation in 1968 when an earthen dam, 350 feet (110 m) long and 50 feet (15 m) high, was constructed on Motett Creek. A U.S. Forest Service campground at the lake has 53 sites and is the most heavily used campground in the Umatilla National Forest. Fishing and swimming are the most popular activities at the lake. A 2.8-mile (4.5 km) trail around the shore was designated a National Recreation Trail in 1981.
