'''Lake Celilo''' is a {{Convert|24|mi|km|0|abbr=on}} long [[reservoir]] on the [[Columbia River]] in the [[United States]], between the [[U.S. state]]s of [[Washington (state)|Washington]] and [[Oregon]]. It was created in 1957 with the construction of [[The Dalles Dam]] near [[The Dalles, Oregon]], and stretches upstream to the [[John Day Dam]]. Its filling drowned the former site of [[Celilo Falls]] and the neighboring [[fishing]] and trade village sites. [[Celilo Village, Oregon|Celilo Village]], a small, unincorporated community of [[Native Americans in the United States|Native Americans]], still exists today, though it is no longer the thriving cultural and economic center it once was.<ref>[http://www.indiancountry.com/content.cfm?id=1093373340 Celilo Falls: Gone but not forgotten] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050716081848/http://www.indiancountry.com/content.cfm?id=1093373340 |date=2005-07-16 }} by Jean Johnson, ''Indian Country Today'', 2004-08-24</ref>

The reservoir lies in parts of [[Wasco County, Oregon|Wasco]] and [[Sherman County, Oregon|Sherman]] counties in Oregon, and [[Klickitat County, Washington|Klickitat County]] in Washington.
