Farewell Bend State Recreation Area offers a beautiful desert experience on the banks of the Snake River's Brownlee Reservoir. Pioneers on the Oregon Trail took a final rest here before leaving the Snake River to travel wearily inland on their way to Oregon City. Historic markers and interpretive displays provide visitors with information on Farewell Bend's significance on the Oregon Trail. The RV and tent campgrounds make excellent base camps as visitors explore the region. Oregon Trail wagon ruts are visible just up the road. The National Oregon Trail Interpretive Center is less than an hour away in Baker City. Brownlee Reservoir offers fishing, water skiing, swimming and boating. There are horseshoe pits, basketball hoops and a sand volleyball court for land lovers. Picnic on the cool grass, spend the night in an authentic covered wagon or Native American tepee, roast marshmallows over a campfire or attend an evening interpretive program at the amphitheater. There is a fish cleaning station as well.
