10 GREAT places to hike, camp, paddle, explore:

CLEAR LAKE- you don’t want to miss this one!! Float over a 3,000 year old forest preserved in the near freezing, crystal clear, bluest waters you’ll ever see! Hike, camp, fish, kayak, paddle board…there is a general store, boat rental, seasonal restaurant (Summer)and camping cabins…

TOKETEE FALLS - this waterfall is truly stunning! Bonus that the hike in is short and easy👌🏻

WOODEN SHOE TULIP FARM- a MUST! over 40 acres of gorgeous tulips. Recommend going at sunrise so you can watch the hot air balloons launch! Better yet, book a flight! Tickets online only.

WHITE RIVER FALLS- a MUST-SEE if you’re visiting north central Oregon! Upper viewing area or hike down to an abandoned historic hydroelectric plant

SPRING CREEK-Sacred waters. Collier Memorial State Park…Bluest, clearest river to paddle in Oregon😍

SMITH ROCK STATE PARK- recommend hiking Misery Ridge! Great workout, gorgeous views of the mountains from the top. World famous rock climbing!

CRATER LAKE- Oregon’s only National Park and needs to be on everyone’s bucket list! It’s gorgeous year round with its rich blue color. Catch a sunrise here!

SILVER FALLS STATE PARK-This family friendly 1 trail 10 falls loop is a must do and takes you behind multiple raging falls! Parking is $5 a car and to avoid crowds go early!!

PAINTED HILLS UNIT-John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. Amazing, unique views, gorgeous rocks, hills, artifacts! Spend a couple days and make sure to visit The Sheep Rock Unit for the best hiking!

SOUTHERN OREGON COAST - the entire Oregon coast is full of amazing hidden gems! Natural Bridges, Secret Beach, Redwoods Nature Trail…so beautiful this had to make the list! Stunning!
