Outdoor Recreation - Camp, Hike Fish Oregon!

Oregon Outdoors

Feel like swooshing down a powdery slope or pulling yourself up the side of a rock? Or perhaps you're more inclined to splash through white water rapids in a raft or sail quietly along above the trees? Whatever your passion, we’ve got a smorgasbord of unbelievable outdoor adventure. Hike (or bike) one of Oregon's thousands of trails - from short hikes and easy rides at sea level to exhausting assaults on 10,000-foot peaks. Explore 13 national forests, more than 200 Oregon State Parks and nearly 400 miles of the Pacific Coast Trail. Or pitch a tent and roast marshmallows at more than 350 national forest and state park campgrounds. And if you’re a daredevil, surf or kite board legendary Hood River, climb the craggy spires of Smith Rock, hang glide in Lakeview or check out rapids in the Rogue and Owyhee. And lest we forget…with hundreds of flowing rivers—including the storied Columbia, Rogue and Willamette—packed with salmon, steelhead and trout and deep-sea excursions for cod, red snapper and sea bass, Oregon might be a fisherman's (or woman's) nirvana. So giddy up...you've got some camping, hiking & backpacking, fishing, rafting, windsurfing, rock climbing, and hang gliding to do in Oregon!
