Hilgard Junction State Park offers camping and daytime activities amongst the cottonwood and ponderosa pine. The Grande Ronde River flows through the park, enticing anglers, rafters and swimmers. Beaver, mink, deer and a variety of birds inhabit the park area and can be viewed throughout the year. Fall frosts give birth to brightly colored fall foliage along the river corridor, and winter snows bring herds of elk and deer to the banks of the river. Fishing for salmon and rainbow trout has proved to be very fruitful for the visitors who have fished the Grande Ronde River. Fishing permits must be obtained before fishing. While camping at the park, guests can see ruts of the historic Oregon Trail at the nearby Blue Mountain Crossing Interpretive park, explore miles of open road in the national forest, or hop over to LaGrande and stock up on groceries, have a meal or partake in community events. If visitors are going to be traveling Interstate 84, be sure to stop at Hilgard Junction and spend a night or two and explore the natural beauty of eastern Oregon.
