Cove Palisades State Park is situated in central Oregon, encompassing Lake Billy Chinook, which is formed by the confluence of the Deschutes and Crooked Rivers.

This landscape offers visitors notable geological features and scenic views. Activities available at Cove Palisades include camping, fishing, boating, and hiking. The park provides access to the lake for water sports enthusiasts, and there are several campsites for both tent and RV camping.
