About Us - General Information
The
Fremont-Winema National Forests were administratively combined in 2002 and
cover 2.3 million acres. The heavily timbered forests extend to the west and
border Crater Lake National Park and the Cascade Mountain Range. To the east
is the semi-arid highland belt which is commonly known as "Oregon's
Outback" and includes part of the Warner Mountain Range while the Oregon-California
border marks the Forest's southern border. For more information on the history
of the Fremont-Winema NF's, please visit our history page.
The Forest's offer plenty of recreational opportunities which include fishing,
hunting, boating, skiing, snowmobiling, camping, biking, horseback riding,
and bird watching. Big game, such as mule deer, Rocky Mountain elk, and pronghorn
antelope, all populate the Forests. In the spring and fall, migrating geese,
ducks, and swans are in abundance. Large predators, such as black bears, mountain
lions, and bobcats, also live in the Forests.
