General Info
In 1908, the Deschutes National Forest was established from parts of
the Blue Mountains, Cascade, and Fremont National Forests. In 1911, parts
of the Deschutes National Forest were split off to form the Ochoco and
Paulina National Forests and parts of the Cascade and Oregon National
Forests were added to the Deschutes. In 1915, the lands of the Paulina
National Forest were rejoined to the Deschutes National Forest. For more

Nestled along the Cascade Mountains, the Deschutes National Forest is one of the most popular recreation forests in the Pacific Northwest. Truly a four season vacationland, the Forest attracts more than 8 million people every year to camp, fish, hike, hunt, ski, and enjoy a multitude of outdoor activities. The Forest also provides variety of commodities. |

The Ochoco National Forest stretches east with magnificent rock formations. Hiking, fishing, camping, hunting, horseback riding and rock hounding are just a few of the popular activities on the forest. Recreationists on the Ochoco enjoy more dispersed recreation opportunities. |

The Crooked River National Grassland offers hiking, fishing, camping, wildlife viewing and horseback riding. Two National Wild and Scenic Rivers, the Deschutes River and Crooked River, weave their way through part of the Grassland.
