Farewell Bend State Recreation Area, State recreation area near Snake River in Ontario, Oregon
Located along the Snake River's Brownlee Reservoir, this recreation area features desert landscapes, grassy meadows, and opportunities for riverside activities throughout the year.
The area marks a significant point where Oregon Trail pioneers rested after following the Snake River for 330 miles before continuing their westward journey.
Iron crosses near US Highway 30 commemorate the 1860 confrontation between Snake River Shoshone Indians and pioneer travelers in this historical location.
The park provides 91 electrical campsites with water connections, 30 tent sites, two log cabins, and facilities including showers, toilets, and a boat ramp.
Visitors can observe native wildlife including pronghorns, eagles, chukars, and quail while enjoying activities at the sand volleyball court and horseshoe pits.
