Tenmile Lakes are large, shallow, highly productive freshwater lakes. North and South Tenmile Lakes have a collective surface area estimated at approximately 2,000 acres of water with around 1000 parcels of land bordering. A narrow, shallow canal known as the "North Lake Canal" connects North and South Tenmile Lakes. Tenmile Lakes are the 4th largest lake in the State of Oregon. It is the most used body of water in Coos County, and the 5th heavily used lake in the state.

The lakes provide numerous angling opportunities. Fishing the excellent populations of steelhead, rainbow trout, cut throat trout, largemouth bass, catfish, bluegill, and brown bullhead is enjoyed by thousands of people every year.

The lakes are in a picturesque setting of calm waters surrounded by mountains and lush natural beauty. Tenmile Lakes are excellent for water skiing, wake boarding, swimming, wading, sailing and boating. Outside temperatures often reach into the 70's during the summer months, and it is always enjoyable for a vacation spot or weekend outing.
