List of Oregon State Parks
Oregon is beautiful with its diverse ecology, from lush mountains to the high desert, and of course, 362 miles of coastline. Getting outside and exploring is one of my all time favorite things. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department does a great job preserving the many sites. Of the 52 Oregon State Parks, I have visited 34. The goal is to see them all.
The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department includes:
Oregon State Parks
Oregon Heritage
ATV programs
Scenic Waterways
Scenic Bikeways
Recreational Trails
Ocean Shores Recreation Area
Willamette River Greenway
The mission of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is to provide and protect outstanding natural, scenic, cultural, historic and recreational sites for the enjoyment and education of present and future generations.
