Minam State Recreation Area

This park is located in a remote steep valley. Large pine trees dominate the landscape and a wide variety of flowers bloom in the spring. Wildlife is abundant; deer, bear, elk and an occasional cougar are seen in the area.

The picturesque Wallowa River flows through the park and is noted for its fishing and rafting. Steelhead fishing in the spring and fall attracts many people. Raft rentals are available at a nearby store and with a trip down the river. You could even see bighorn sheep.

Vital stats: The park is open March - November. The campground offers 12 primitive campsites (maximum site 71 feet). Minam offers opportunities for camping, fishing, boating, rafting, hiking, picnicking, wildlife watching and viewing scenery.
