Bonnie Lure State Recreation Area, State recreation area in Clackamas County, United States.
Bonnie Lure State Recreation Area is a protected outdoor space in Clackamas County, Oregon, with Eagle Creek flowing through dense forest. The area provides opportunities for fishing, hiking, and exploring wooded trails.
The land was transferred to the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department in 1976 by The Nature Conservancy. This acquisition was supported by federal conservation funding that helped establish the protected area.
Visitors come here to fish, hike, and observe nature in a forest setting. The place serves as a shared outdoor space where people spend time away from daily routines and connect with the natural world.
The area is open for day visits throughout the year with few seasonal restrictions. Visitors should follow local guidelines about firewood and other resources to help protect the forest ecosystem.
The area protects populations of steelhead trout and pileated woodpeckers that inhabit the forest. Patient observers walking quietly through the trees may spot these animals in their natural habitat.
