Three Creek Lake is stocked and there are streams and a couple smaller lakes nearby.
Boating
No motors allowed on the lake. We saw several fishermen in float tubes and the "store" has canoes and row boats for rent.
Swimming
Swimming is allowed and there is a nice beach right at the campground. However swimming is at your risk as there is no lifeguard.
Recreation
Recreational opportunities abound here. The lake is is available for fishing, boating, canoeing and float tubing. You can play on the beach, wade or swim also. There are trails in hills around the lake one of which I hiked and have included a "review" of that hike. You can find it in the "Recreation" page.
Wildlife
We saw deer several times in the area including one nice 3 or 4 point buck. That's western style count on that buck. You could run across elk, moose, bear and many woodland critters as well as birds of all sizes and shapes.
Fees & Res.
You may reserve a campsite at Three Creek Lake Campground at recreation.gov. Current fees range from $12.75 to $14.75 per night. This is a popular area since it close to Bend and much cooler. I would rocommend making reservations rather than hoping for an open campsite. The sign at the campground indicated the fee was $14 per night. I'm not sure why there is a difference.

We visted Three Creek Lake Campground in July of 2015 and these are our observations from that visit.
Three Creek Lake Campground is situated between Three Creek Lake and a ridge from the Tam McArthur Rim. The area in the campground and nearby is covered with a mature forest. Between the lake and the hiking trails you shouldn't have any trouble finding something to do.

Getting There
Google Maps is not working at this time. It doesn't recognize a small section of Three Creek Road near the lake. So from Sisters, Oregon turn south on S Elm St.. Elm St turns into Three Creek Lake Rd as you leave town. Follow Three Creek Lake Rd 17 mile to the campground. If you are using an Iphone it will pull up the path by searching from Sisters, Or to Three Creek Lake.
