[[File:MC Chuckwagon & Western Heritage Exhibit, Lakeview, Oregon.JPG|thumb|MC Chuck Wagon Western Heritage Exhibit]]Lakeview is also known for the hot water [[geyser]], ''Old Perpetual'', located at Hunter's Hot Springs. The geyser sometimes goes "silent" from about the first of September until around mid-October. Some people attributed this to farm irrigation during the spring and summer; others believe it may be caused by geothermal development the City of Lakeview supplies the Warner Creek Correctional Facility with water for heating.  However, the city and the [[Oregon Department of Corrections]] deny any cause-and-effect relationship between geothermal development and the geyser's periodic dormancy.  The government agents claim there is no evidence to identify the cause(s) of the geyser's dormancy.<ref name="Out of Steam">{{cite news|last=Preusch|first=Matthew|date=February 21, 2010|title=Lakeview's Iconic Geyser Seems to Be Running Out of Steam.
