Green Peter Reservoir is a reservoir created by Green Peter Dam on the Middle Santiam River 11miles northeast of Sweet Home, Oregon, United States. The reservoir is approximately 10miles long and has a surface area of approximately 3720acres when full. The reservoir is used for hydropower, recreation, flood risk management, water quality, irrigation, and as a fish and wildlife habitat.[2]
