Chinese Massacre Cove, Cove in Oregon, United States

Chinese Massacre Cove is a cove on the Snake River in Oregon, United States. The site is marked by a plaque and a small memorial, set against a backdrop of steep hills and river water.

In 1887, a group of Chinese miners was attacked here, and many were killed. The site remained little known for years until a memorial was placed to honor the victims.

The site is a place of remembrance for the Chinese community, with a plaque that tells the story of the 1887 killings. Visitors often leave small offerings, and the cove serves as a stop for those learning about this chapter of local history.

The cove is remote and best reached by boat or a rough trail; check local conditions before setting out. There are no facilities, so bring water and supplies and leave no trace.

The cove is one of the few physical reminders of anti-Chinese violence in the American West. Its remote location means the memorial is often visited by those who seek out hidden history.
