Jubilee Lake is a {{convert|92.33|acre|ha|adj=on}} man-made lake in the Umatilla National Forest in the northern corner of Union County in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is located {{convert|19|mi|km}} north of Elgin and about {{convert|11|mi|km}} south of the Washington border, at an elevation of {{convert|4761|ft|m}}.{{cite map|publisher=U.S. Geological Survey|title=The National Map|series=National Hydrography Dataset|url=http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/viewer/?p=default&b=base1&q=jubilee%20lake%2C%20oregon&x=-13131333.872229094&y=5747272.948822515&l=10&v=|accessdate=April 12, 2013}} Its basin spans Union, Umatilla, and Wallowa counties.{{cite web|url=http://aol.research.pdx.edu/documents/download/218|title=Jubilee Lake: Union County|format=PDF|work=Atlas of Oregon Lakes|publisher=Portland State University|accessdate=July 3, 2014}} The lake was made for recreation in 1968 when an earthen dam, {{convert|350|ft|m}} long and {{convert|50|ft|m}} high, was constructed on Motett Creek. A U.S. Forest Service campground at the lake has 53 sites and is the most heavily used campground in the Umatilla National Forest. Fishing and swimming are the most popular activities at the lake. A {{convert|2.8|mi|km|adj=on}} trail around the shore was designated a National Recreation Trail in 1981.{{cite web|url=http://www.americantrails.org/NRTDatabase/trailDetail.php?recordID=577|title=Jubilee Lake|publisher=American Trails|accessdate=April 12, 2013|archive-date=April 2, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402104706/http://www.americantrails.org/NRTDatabase/trailDetail.php?recordID=577|url-status=dead}}

Jubilee Lake is considered mesotrophic, with an intermediate level of biological activity, and its drainage basin receives about {{convert|50|in|mm}} of precipitation annually. Rainbow trout are stocked in the lake for anglers, and a youth fishing event is held at the lake each year.{{cite web|url=http://www.dfw.state.or.us/fish/easy_angling/northeast/jubilee.asp|title=Jubilee Lake|publisher=Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130707003931/http://www.dfw.state.or.us/fish/easy_angling/northeast/jubilee.asp|archivedate=July 7, 2013}}{{cite book|last=Schuhmann|first=Craig|title=Oregon Fishing|year=2012|publisher=Avalon Travel|location=Berkeley, California|isbn=9781612381688|page=271|edition=2nd|oclc=757477054}}
