Outdoor Recreation

To really know our state, you have to get out and experience it.

Oregon is a dream destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering endless ways to explore the state’s recreation options and natural beauty, on foot, by bike or by paddle. Whether you’re hiking to a hidden waterfall, cycling through vineyard-lined backroads, birding in a coastal refuge or kayaking a crystal-clear lake, Oregon invites you to get outside and experience adventure at your own pace.

What makes outdoor recreation in Oregon so unique? It’s the incredible variety of landscapes (rugged coastline, high desert, dense forests, alpine peaks and wild rivers) are all within a day’s drive. You can bike the Oregon Coast Bike Route one day and hike among towering lava formations the next. Spot bald eagles, herons, and migrating shorebirds in world-renowned birding areas or paddle through the calm waters of Cascade lakes beneath snow-capped mountains.

With miles of trails, scenic byways, and wild spaces to discover, Oregon is where outdoor fun meets natural wonder—every season of the year.

This is why Oregon is one of the best places in the world for outdoor adventure. If you’re looking for world-class golfing, cycling, kayaking, skiing, rafting, windsurfing, or just about anything else-ing, look no further. Better yet, don’t look, come out here and leap.
