Loon Lake is a {{convert|294|acre|ha|adj=on}}[1] lake in Douglas County in the Oregon Coast Range of the United States, {{convert|15|mi|km}} east-southeast of Reedsport, Oregon, at an elevation of {{convert|392|ft|m|}}.[2] The lake is about {{convert|2|mi|km|0}} long with a maximum width of about {{convert|0.4|mi|km|1}}, and is over {{convert|100|ft|m}} deep in some places.

The lake is "a classic example of a landslide lake",[1] dammed by a slide of sandstone blocks which fell into the Lake Creek valley about 1,400 years ago. The lake was discovered in 1852 and named for the loons found on its waters.
