Allen Creek Reservoir is an artificial impoundment built for irrigation in the 1940's or 1950's downstream from the junctions of Allen, Beetle, and Yellowjacket Creeks. The reservoir has no facilities but the area which occupies about 200 yards of shoreline is available for camping. The reservoir is located about 45 miles east of Prineville in the Big Summit Prairie. A primitive boat ramp is located on the southeast corner of the reservoir and visitors can see Osprey nests in the area. There is good fishing for redband or brook trout. Trolling with lures from a boat or float tube is very effective, and from the shoreline a variety of lures, bait, and flies are also effective.
