Maud Williamson State Recreation Site

The 24-acre recreation site features second-growth Douglas fir trees, providing natural shade and creating an environment for local wildlife species.

Maud Williamson, a teacher at Wheatland school, donated the initial 20 acres of land in 1937 to honor the memory of her mother.

The Charles S. Williamson House, constructed in 1890, represents the architectural heritage of the area and connection to early Oregon settlers.

The park includes volleyball courts, horseshoe pits, restrooms, and a covered picnic shelter that requires advance reservation for group gatherings.

During early spring, the park grounds display numerous trillium flowers beneath the Douglas fir canopy, creating natural patterns across the forest floor.
