About Bald Peak State Scenic Viewpoint

Bald Peak sits in the Chehalem hills between Hillsboro and Newberg. Visitors use the park as a stop on a scenic drive, with a grassy hillside suited to picnics and a short walk through a Douglas fir woodland. The park is day use only and has no drinking water. The state acquired the land in 1931, and it was once considered as a memorial site for pioneer women of the Oregon Country.
