Botens Reservoir is a 3.4-acre (0.01 km2), small reservoir located in the northwestern portion of the Klamath Basin, in Southern Klamath County, Oregon. The reservoir is at an elevation of 4157 feet (1267 Meters).

Botens Reservoir receives water from an unnamed dry draw, in which the reservoir was constructed. It is held by the Botens Reservoir Dam, an earth dam constructed in 1947. The dam measures 180 feet long and 10 feet wide. Water flows through a 15 foot cement pipe built through the dam and is a tributary of the Klamath River.
