Ukiah–Dale Forest State Scenic Corridor

Ukiah-Dale Forest State Scenic Corridor is a state park along Highway 395 featuring dense forests of ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, and western larch. The area stretches along the North Fork of the John Day River and Camas Creek, creating a varied wooded landscape.

The land was acquired between 1944 and 1947 through a series of purchases from private owners and Umatilla County. These acquisitions established the foundation for the park as it exists today.

The white and purple camas flowers that bloom here in spring connect to Native American heritage, as these plants were gathered and eaten by local tribes for centuries.

The campground offers 27 primitive sites with paved parking for RVs and flush toilets available. Water access is nearby and the area is open from May through October.

The area draws foragers who gather wild mushrooms and berries from within the forest boundaries. This practice of wild food harvesting remains popular with visitors today.
