Donaca Lake is a 3-acre (12,000 m2), 41-foot (12 m) deep lake in

old growth forest in the Middle Santiam Wilderness near Sweet Home.[4]

Donaca Lake provides habitat for a unique strain of cutthroat trout and affords excellent fishing for lively 8-to-12-inch (20 to 30 cm) specimens. Though not required by law, catch and release methods are encouraged to protect this fishery.[5]
