Trails webpages and information will not be available until May 2025. Thank you for your patience while we work through getting the most updated, accurate information for you during this time.

Umatilla National Forest, spanning over 1.4 million acres in the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon and southeastern Washington, is a prime destination for outdoor recreation. With its diverse landscape of rugged mountains, deep river canyons, and heavily timbered slopes, the forest offers a wide range of activities for nature enthusiasts. Visitors can enjoy hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, and wildlife viewing, while winter months bring opportunities for snowshoeing, snowmobiling and more. The Forest's numerous trails, rivers, and scenic byways make it an ideal location for adventure seekers!
