Mercer Lake
Mercer Lake has a Lane County launch at the far end of the lake. There are homes and resorts along the shorelines on several arms. Mercer Lake was called k’awi’iich. When Native people acquired horses, they swam them across from south to north when heading up towards the hills to go hunting. Many red cedars grew around the lake and several canoes were made there.

For expanded details on our launch sites, click the link or hover over the box below and click the image to visit Super Water Trails (SWT). While our "Map and Launch Sites" tab provides basic locations, SWT offers deeper insights into whether the site is open, launch type, tidal, cellular signal availability, fee, if a pass is accepted, and amenities.

Registration is required to access the platform. SWT was developed by FOAK member Annette Chihorek and is free to use, though some premium features are available for a fee.
