About Wallowa Lake Highway Forest State Scenic Corridor
This state scenic corridor follows the Wallowa River and serves as a day-use area for anglers, boaters, and wildlife watchers. Steelhead fishing is considered good in spring and fall, and the river's clear, cold water draws fly fishers who can wade at many spots. Steep forested canyon walls rise on both sides of the road, mostly pine, and deer, elk, and bear are often seen here. Wildflowers bloom widely in spring. Visitors find picnic tables and accessible vault toilets at the waysides. Camping is not permitted, and smoking is banned outside personal vehicles.
