Bald Peak State Scenic Viewpoint

From an elevation of 1,629 feet, this lookout presents extensive views of the Willamette Valley, surrounding mountain ranges, and nearby agricultural regions.

The state of Oregon acquired this land from private ownership in 1931, establishing it as a protected natural area for public recreational purposes.

Native American communities valued this geographic location for its resources and connection to the landscape before European settlers arrived in the region.

The park includes convenient parking spaces, designated picnic zones with tables, and restroom facilities, though visitors need to bring their own drinking water.

The viewpoint earned its name from its original treeless summit condition, which differed significantly from the current Douglas fir woodland environment.
