ABOUT THE WILLAMETTE NATIONAL FOREST
The Willamette is a large, complex forest, encompassing over 1.7 million acres in Oregon, which stretches for 110 miles along the western slopes of the Cascades. There are four Ranger Districts, an experimental forest, and a diverse, integrated and challenging program of work. It is known for its numerous volcanic peaks, the forested Cascade Range, and three Wild and Scenic Rivers.
The area offers a stunning choice of year round recreation for day-trippers and vacationers alike from hiking, camping, fishing or skiing in the Cascade Mountains to picnicking or rafting along one of our scenic rivers. There are eight wilderness areas on the forest, which comprise 20% of the Forest landbase. Mt. Jefferson, Diamond Peak, Three Sisters and the Mt. Washington Wilderness Areas are co-managed with the Deschutes National Forest. There are three designated Off-highway vehicle areas on the forest, two nationally designated scenic byways, and several recreation cabin rentals. The Forest special uses program includes two ski resorts, two concession permits for major campground complexes, a marina, numerous outfitters and guides, numerous recreation residences, nationally recognized mountain bike events, and organizational camps. The Forest manages a recreation fee program, and offers popular dispersed recreation opportunities near water and lakeshores.
