Lake Ewauna is a lake in Klamath County, Oregon, United States. It is the headwaters of the Klamath River. Fed by Link River from Upper Klamath Lake and controlled by the release of water from Keno Dam Convert|18|mi|km|0|abbr=on downstream, Lake Ewauna stays at a constant level throughout the year.

At just over 6,500 feet (2,000 meters) long, Lake Ewauna is the ideal length for crew rowing and since 1970 the Ewauna Rowing Club has been using the lake for practice and competition. [ [http://www.klamathrowing.org Ewauna Rowing Club] ]

Lake Ewauna was home to several lumber mills in the 20th century, and was a log pond for those mills. The last floating logs came out in the 1990s as the last mill on the lake shore, Modoc Lumber Company, closed its doors. The former Modoc mill site is now being developed as Timbermill Shores. [ [http://www.timbermillshores.com/ Timbermill Shores] ]

Some logs were removed from the lake bottom in the late 1990s but many remain still on the bottom, remnants of a near century of log pond use. A few logs rise to the surface in spring every year causing hazard to boat traffic.
