Getting There: Magone Lake is a 35 acre natural lake located approximately 9 air miles northeast of John Day off of County Road 18, then Forest Road 36.  It is open all year to angling, but snow often blocks vehicle access late November until late March.

Fisheries: The lake is stocked annually with fingerling rainbow trout in spring and brook trout in fall that grow to legal size by the following year. Bag limit is 5 fish per day.  Minimize size for rainbow is 8 inches with no minimum size on brook trout. Most successful anglers use bait suspended just off the bottom, although fly anglers do well in spring and late fall.  Rainbow to 17 inches and brook trout to 15 inches are caught each year.

Facilities:  The lake is in a very scenic setting with a popular US Forest Service campground and boat ramp. Fees for camping.
