This is a scene looking south from Lowell State Park at Lowell Oregon. The body of water is Dexter Lake, and across the lake is Highway 58. The elevation of Mt. Zion is 2625 feet. So it is more like a butte than a mountain, but it does tower over the surrounding hills.

As you can see in the photo, there is a marina at the park and the lake is kept full year round. Sail boaters, water skiers, anglers, paddlers and rowers take advantage of the park. The University of Oregon and Oregon Association of Rowers have boathouses there, and host Regattas (rowing races) in the spring. There are also drag boat races in the summer. There are also areas for recreation and picnicking in the park. For more information about the park, go here - http://oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=parkPage.dsp_parkPage&parkId=177
