Oregon Desert Trail


The Oregon Desert Trail is a network of trails under development (as of June 2013) across the Oregon High Desert. The trail is between 750 and 850 miles (1,210 and 1,370 km) long, with termini located near Bend, Oregon, and near the Idaho border at Lake Owyhee State Park.

The route is on existing trails and across tracts of public land—mostly Bureau of Land Management, much of it wilderness study area. The west end of the trail is on the northern border of Oregon Badlands Wilderness and heads south. It meanders widely to take in public land throughout southeastern Oregon: Diablo Peak, Fremont National Forest, Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge, Steens Mountain, the Pueblo Mountains, the Trout Creek Mountains, and the Owyhee River Wilderness. It passes through the tiny cities of Fort Rock, Christmas Valley, Paisley, Plush, Frenchglen, Fields, McDermitt, Rome, and Adrian. The trail runs South East from Central Oregon, towards Fields. It touches on the Oregon-Nevada border south of Fields. The route zigzags eastward to within 15 miles (24 km) of the southeastern state corner while following the West Little Owyhee River downstream and then turns northward as it merges to form the Owyhee River. The trail's ends are west-northwest to east-southeast (96° true) of each other by 195 miles (314 km). The route was developed by the Oregon Natural Desert Association (ONDA).
