Overview

About this park

This day-use site is located along the Wallowa River and is a popular fishing and wildlife viewing area. Steelhead fishing is good during the spring and fall.

The canyon rises steeply on both sides of the road and is frequented by deer, elk and bear. The slopes of the canyon are forested primarily with pine.

Setting

Landscape & setting

Flowers are abundant in the spring. The Wallowa River is clear, cold and popular with fly fishing enthusiasts because it can be waded in many locations.

Background

History & notes

One of the earliest highway forest waysides, the first tract was 47 acres purchased in 1925. Later acquisitions were made through 1958.
