Sheridan State Scenic Corridor, State park in Columbia River Gorge, Oregon, US.
Sheridan State Scenic Corridor is a small park set within old-growth forest along Interstate 84 in the Columbia River Gorge. The landscape displays typical Pacific Northwest characteristics with dense trees and natural ravines throughout the property.
The land was originally owned by the Oregon-Washington Railroad and Navigation Company and was transferred to the Parks Division of the State Highway Department in 1923. This transfer made it a protected area available to the public.
The park bears the name of Philip H. Sheridan and includes interpretive signs installed in 2007 that detail the area's history and ecology.
Visitors access the park through a concrete tunnel running beneath Interstate 84, which connects the different sections of the area. Sturdy footwear is recommended since the ground along the paths can be uneven.
The park holds a triangular shape defined by its location between Interstate 84 and Mount Hood National Forest. This geographic position has kept its original boundaries unchanged over time.
