A road trip to some of Oregon’s least visited state parks

Peak Northwest

Summer means big crowds at Oregon’s busiest state parks, places like Silver Falls and Fort Stevens, which draw millions of visitors each year.

But what about those other parks?

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we take a road trip to some of the least visited state parks in Oregon, all clustered together in a rural, remote part of northeast Oregon. Here, you won’t find crowds – or, at some spots, much of anything.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

• Where exactly are these little state parks?
• Finding pockets of beauty at Red Bridge.
• Which parks might not be worth your time.
• A delightful afternoon at Catherine Creek State Park.
