About Battle Mountain Forest State Scenic Corridor

This state scenic corridor sits on U.S. 395 about nine miles north of Ukiah in eastern Oregon. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department manages it to protect a forest of ponderosa pine, larch, Douglas fir, and spruce that supports many kinds of wildlife. Its name recalls a late conflict between Native Americans and settlers in the region, which occurred near the park. Visitors often stop to stretch on a road trip, hold family reunions, or gather larger groups. Spring brings wildflowers and many bird species, and summer draws visitors to the open space.
