About Bonnie Lure State Recreation Area

This Oregon State Parks site sits along Eagle Creek near Portland and suits visitors who want a calmer outing. Wildlife watchers may spot pileated woodpeckers, and anglers can try for steelhead trout as they return toward the hatchery. The park is open for day use throughout the year. Because it lies within a county quarantine zone for certain ash, olive, and white fringe tree materials, visitors should not bring restricted firewood into the park. The land was bought from The Nature Conservancy in 1976 with help from the Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund.
