U.S.D.A. Forest Service - Oregon
Caring for the land and serving people

Within the boundaries of Oregon, there are 13 national forests, one national grassland, and the Columbia River Gorge Nat'l Scenic Area. These are managed for the production of commodities such as timber but also for the recreation opportunities of the general public and the conservation of resources for future generations.

Fire Lookout Camping and Forest Service Cabin Camping are unique and usually non-commercial. Select the link above to see our list of this type of accommodation.

For some reason, the US Department of Agriculture decided to put its name into the old standby "U.S. Forest Service," producing "USDA Forest Service." Other than figuring out what cabinet secretary this all reports to, it's hard to see why this was an advantage.
