VISIT
GRANT COUNTY
A RECREATION PARADISE
ON OREGON’S FRONTIER
W
ith its country roots and Western flair, Grant County
offers an escape to Oregon's real frontier – a place where
cowboys still ride herd and folks tip their hats to strangers.
The county spans a vast swath of rugged, varied terrain – some
4,500 square miles. It's a landscape that hosts an array of recreational
opportunities, with something for everyone – and for all seasons.
Think of Grant County as a place where all things outdoors fit right in, from ATVs
to skis, fishing poles to target ranges, hiking boots to bird books and more.
Wondering what to do or where to do it? Start with this guide, and then just ask –
you'll find helpful tips from residents of the nine communities that most of the
county's 7,400 residents call home.
These communities, steeped in history, have strong roots in the waves of
pioneers, gold miners, lumbermen and ranchers that settled the West over the past
150 years. Pride in that history runs strong in the people, who don't hesitate to share
their love of the land and its colorful past with strangers.
Here you'll encounter the small-town spirit that thrives in community festivals, local
museums, rodeo events, and outdoor gatherings. You'll also get a bonus: a respite
from the traffic and hubbub of more urban and suburban lives.
And we guess you won't balk at the scenery. Towering pine forests. Sun-dappled
aspen groves. Rushing rivers. Snow-flecked mountaintops. Fossil-laden cliffs. Golden
tamaracks. Broad verdant valleys.
So take a detour into Oregon's frontier – we promise it will be worth your while.
