JOSEPH OREGON RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES

Experience the time of your life, experience Wallowa County!
Few places offer the variety of recreational activities Wallowa County does.
Regardless of the time of year, there is an outdoor activity that will provide
entertainment for everyone in your family.

From the towering snowcapped Wallowa Mountains encircling emerald green forests and stream lined meadows on the valley floor, to the mile deep Hell’s Canyon River Gorge, nature’s treasures await you at every turn.

SUMMER RECREATION:

Whether you want to hire a guide to lead you horseback through the Eagle Cap Wilderness, fly you into the stunning Minam Lodge for excellent fly fishing on the Minam River, or you just want to pitch your tent at the Wallowa Lake State Park, you can’t go wrong.

At Wallowa Lake you can take a guided horseback ride into the mountains, ride the go-carts, play miniature golf, rent a boat and go fishing on the lake, or live dangerously and go parasailing. This experience will stay with you forever.

If you want a real thrill, ride the gondola to the top of Mt. Howard where you can dine outside and then hike one of the many trails which have spectacular views of the Wallowa Mountains and the valley floor far below.
