Crow Butte Park

The area was opened to homesteading in 1850, and one of the first families in the area was the Crows. Their original homestead is now under the waters of the John Day Reservoir, but many Crow descendants remain in the area.

The park was opened in 1977 and is often referred to as the "Maui of the Columbia".

Crow Butte is situated on the historic Lewis and Clark Trail, right on the Columbia River, and close to the Umatilla Wildlife Refuge which is a wintering grounds for hundreds of thousands of migratory waterfowl each year.

The 1312-acre park features boating, camping, fishing, hiking, picnicking, sightseeing, swimming, water skiing, windsurfing and birdwatching.

Be advised that rattlesnakes are native to this region.
