New Pine Creek is a CDP at the California line

Last reviewed against the listed sources September 9, 2026.
New Pine Creek is a named Census place at the California line, not an incorporated town. That is why a county request and a park question split.
The Census table lists New Pine Creek as a CDP. Census defines a CDP as statistical geography for a closely settled, unincorporated community. ODOT’s Lake County map places New Pine Creek on US 395 at the Oregon-California line.
Lake County’s government profile is the first stop for a civic question. Goose Lake State Recreation Area belongs with Oregon State Parks, whose page carries current access and conditions.
The ordinary rule is stable, but a current record, boundary, rate, deadline, or personal fact can change the result.
Use this next
Use the Census CDP table and ODOT Lake County sheet for identity and location, the Oregon Blue Book for county government, and State Parks for Goose Lake.
