About
Farewell Bend State Recreation Area marks a pivotal point on the Oregon Trail where emigrants took their final drink from the Snake River before turning northwest toward the Burnt River region. Today, restored covered wagons and interpretive exhibits bring this history to life while campers enjoy the desert landscape along Brownlee Reservoir. The campground features 91 electrical sites with water hookups and 23 tent sites with nearby water access. Two accessible log cabins are available for reservation, one of which is pet-friendly. A and B loops offer first-come, first-served camping during the off-season, while all loops become reservable during summer months. Brownlee Reservoir provides excellent fishing, water skiing, and boating with a paved boat ramp on-site. Recreation facilities include horseshoe pits, a sand volleyball court, basketball court, and scenic viewing deck. The park sells firewood and ice, and a fish cleaning station serves anglers. A dedicated off-leash dog area at the south entrance gives pets room to run.
Directions
Exit 353 off I-84, approximately 25 miles northwest of Ontario, Oregon. The park is located at 23751 Old Highway 30, Huntington, Oregon.
