Corbett Oregon
Attractions
Ainsworth
State Park
Nestled in the awe-inspiring Columbia River Gorge, Ainsworth is
equal parts waterfall wonderland, hiker's playground and camper's
delight. Situated at the eastern end of Historic Highway 30, from
Ainsworth to Crown Point to the west, you'll find the world's
greatest concentration of high waterfalls (like Multnomah Falls). By
leaving the park on Nesmith Point trail, you'll end up with a
splendid view of St. Peter's Dome, a majestic basalt monolith rising
2,000 feet above the mighty Columbia River. Hiking is definitely
something you'll want to do while camping at Ainsworth State Park.
Benson State
Recreation Area
Simon Benson was a lumber magnate, philanthropist, and one of the
principal promoters of the Historic Columbia River Gorge Highway.
Located one mile west of Multnomah Falls on I-84 at milepost 30
(eastbound access only), picnickers love this park; there's even a
disc golf course and a reservable shelter for groups.
Bridal Veil
Falls State Scenic Viewpoint
The park offers a nice parking area, picnic
tables and restrooms all within easy walking distance from the
parking area. Nice grassy areas afford visitors a chance to stretch
a blanket in one of the laziest parts of the Columbia River Gorge.
No day-use fee is charged; admission is free. The park is situated
in large timber stands; the area was a natural choice as a logging
haven once upon a time. The park features two different trails: an
upper walking/interpretive trail and a lower hiking trail to the
falls (120' tall). Both are not to be missed.
Crown Point
State Scenic Corridor
Millions of visitors driving from Portland
through the Columbia River Gorge don't realize the full impact of
its beauty until they come around the bend near Corbett at exit 22
and see the famous building on the top of the cliff to the right.
This is Crown Point and the building is the Vista House.
George W.
Joseph State Natural Area
Access to George Joseph State Park is
possible by using the trail from Latourell Falls and Guy Talbot
State Park. A trail leads from the parking lot to the top of lower
Latourell Falls. Beyond this point on the trail, you've entered the
enchanted forest of George Joseph State Park where sword fern, moss
and lichens are barely illuminated through the dense stands of
timber. Continue on the trail to a rarely visited wonder which is
upper Latourell Falls.
Guy W. Talbot
State Park
Guy Webster Talbot and his family used this
property as a summer estate until 1929 when they donated it to the
state. Today, it's a beautiful picnic park. A modern picnic shelter
is available for rent (and is reservable).While the park is terrific
for a group or family picnic, the park is often uncrowded even on
the best days because of its seclusion. A gently sloping grassy hill
dotted with Port Orford cedars, Douglas firs, alders and maples
invites frisbee tossing and quiet relaxation.
John B. Yeon
State Scenic Corridor
John B. Yeon Scenic Corridor honors a man who
gave generously of his time and professional skills. He was one of
the principal architects of the Historic Columbia River Highway (US
30); a major portion of the scenic highway joins I-84 westbound at
Yeon State Park.
Rooster Rock
State Park
Spring at Rooster Rock is where spring fever
happens. Imagine the first warm, sunny days of spring where meadows
of wild roses and the spicy scent of Oregon grape combine with an
endless panorama of the Cascade mountains, blue sky and the deep
blue waters of the Columbia River. During the first sunny days of
spring, people suddenly call in sick at work or school. That's when
our parking lot fills up! One of the largest swimming areas near
Portland serves visitors who want a natural experience. It's even
more natural the further east you go at Rooster Rock (where you’ll
find one of Oregon’s two designated nude beaches).

-- Vista House is located on the western
end of the Historic Columbia River Highway at Crown Point State
Park. It is operated by The Friends of Vista House, in cooperation
with Oregon Parks and Recreation Department since 1982. Vista House
was built in 1916-1918 as a memorial to Oregon pioneers and as a
comfort station for those traveling on the Historic Columbia River
Highway. The octagonal stone structure towers 733 feet above the
Columbia River, is listed on the National Register of Historic
Places and in the National Geographic Society’s 2001 “Save America’s
Treasures” book.
