Willamette Mission State Park was originally the site of the first mission for Native Americans in the West. Ghost structures represent the original buildings from the Methodist Mission founded by Reverend Jason Lee in 1834. The park also features the Nation’s Largest Black Cottonwood tree that is estimated to be over 250 years old.
With Mission Lake, 16 miles of multi-use trails, and the Willamette River, Willamette Mission State Park offers the opportunity for hiking, boating, fishing, and horseback-riding. A perfect picnic spot, the park boasts electricity, restrooms, barbecues, tables, and water faucets. Reservations can also be made for volleyball, horseshoes, softball, and soccer.
