Boating Vacations in Central OR (Surf/Wake/Ski/Camp/etc)
So, it's been a number of years since I've done a boating vacation, but now that I own a boat I'm starting to think more seriously about it for summer 2014.
I know a decent number of you are from the Pacific NW, and are probably familar with some of the good Central Oregon spots.
Right now I'm thinking mid July as our first choice with Mid June as our 2nd choice of timeframe.
Of course the first place that comes to mind is Cove Palisades State park on Lake Billy Chinook. Another that seems worth consideration is Prineville Reservoir state park.
I haven't been to LBC in 8+ years. And it's been since I was in High School since I've been to Prineville Reservoir.
Any insight for me? Any other hot spots I should consider? Anyone else planning a summer vacation along those lines?
Now is the time to start thinking about this since booking for June is already live and booking for July is very soon approaching.

My preference is Prineville. Both LBC and Prineville get strong afternoon winds.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/08/epesajab.jpg

Weather was great this year. I think it was at or around 80 the entire weekend. Usually we get some rain but it's overall decent. Water temps. Burrrr..59 most of the lake except cold water up the river arms, warmest is by the dam at 62. Pics above were July 4th, water was up to 70 iirc.
