Thorn Lake (Lake County, Oregon)

Thorn Lake is a dry high-desert lake in Lake County in the U.S. state of Oregon. The Atlas of Oregon Lakes lists its surface area at about 320 acre and its shoreline at about 4 mi but provides no other details.

Thorn Lake has been dry for many years, Doctor E. D Cope, a scientist traveling through the area in 1889, noted that Thorn Lake was a dry playa at that time. A 2008 topographic map of Oregon indicates that Thorn Lake is dry.

The lake is about 8 mi east of the unincorporated community of Silver Lake and about 2 mi north of the intermittent lake called Silver Lake near Oregon Route 31.
