Succor Creek State Natural Area, Natural area in Malheur County, Oregon, United States.
Succor Creek State Natural Area spans across a deep rocky canyon with volcanic formations, providing opportunities for wildlife observation and geological exploration.
The land was acquired between 1966 and 1969 through a Bureau of Land Management grant, combined with private purchases and legal proceedings.
The name derives from the Spanish word socorro, as early Snake River Basin travelers found essential freshwater resources in this location.
The natural area contains 18 primitive campsites divided between the east and west sides of the creek, accessible via a 15-mile dirt road.
The canyon preserves numerous fossils and thundereggs, which hold the distinction of being Oregon's official state rock.
