The Area
Northeastern Oregon is one of the most attractive rural areas in the Pacific  Northwest. Rimmed on the east by the mighty Hells Canyon, it is a land of contrasts. It is known for its lush, fertile farmlands and its awe-inspiring chasms. Home to the deepest gorge in North America, it is considered by some to be a symbol of the Northwest’s historic claim as this continent’s last great frontier.
At least five grand rivers intersect this region. The Snake, comprising Oregon’s rugged eastern border, is known for its jaw-dropping scenery and challenging rapids. Other rivers, such as the Imnaha, which intersects the Snake at the northeast tip of this region, the Columbia and the John Day have played their own roles in nurturing this landscape into one of North America’s most popular adventure destinations.
Blanketed by three different national forests, the Northeast Region is a recreational paradise. The area is renowned for its steelhead, rainbow and bullhead trout fishing, particularly on the Grande Ronde, Imnaha and Wallowa rivers. The pristine alpine lakes of 341,446-acre Eagle Cap Wilderness (located in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest) have their own attraction for those who enjoy the solitude of a remote natural paradise.
But Northeast Oregon isn’t just about wilderness, or the spectacular beauty of untouched nature. The small communities that pocket Oregon’s northeast corner tell their own unique story. Historical landmarks dating back to the Nez Perce’s domain hundreds of years ago can be found throughout this region, as can various cities and towns that were founded by European settlers in the late 1800s. The Oregon Trail Interpretive Center and Tamastslikt Cultural Institute offer two fascinating reflections of this region’s history and the people who call Oregon’s most remote region home.
Union County
Union County is one of the most attractive rural areas in the Pacific Northwest. Snow-capped mountains, vast forests, churning rivers, rocky cliffs, sage-covered  hills, fertile farmlands, and friendly towns: Union County has them all! Nestled at the feetof the Blue Mountains on the edge of the fertile Grande Ronde Valley, La Grande is a pretty town with a lot to offer. With a population of just over 12,000, the community is friendly, casual, and has its own brand of sophistication, due in large part to the presence of Eastern Oregon University. The surrounding national forests, lakes, and rivers provide some of the best biking, hiking, skiing, fishing, snowmobiling, camping, and sightseeing opportunities in the state. The area is also host to one of the top ranked golf courses in Oregon.
