RV Rental Catherine Creek State Park, OR

You’ll definitely want to bring a bike in your camper rental, as running right through Catherine Creek State Park is the Grande Tour Scenic Bikeway. Boasting a gorgeous 134-mile trail, the bikeway is reminiscent of paths taken by pioneers during the days of the Oregon Trail. Experience the rustic beauty of Oregon’s countryside as you watch the wind whip through windmills or see a cow grazing along the hill of an idyllic farmhouse. You won’t get bored along this trail, as panoramic views of the Blue Mountains, Elkhorn Range, and Wallowa Mountains enrapture the senses. Whether you're looking to do the full 134-mile trek or just a laid-back couple of miles, the trail is ideal for both.

If you prefer hiking, trail running, or walking, head over to the North Fork Catherine Creek Trail, where the under ten-mile round trip makes for a natural stress reliever. Sling some binoculars around your neck and be prepared for sights of mule deer, thrush, goshawk, and more! After hiking for a few miles or so, you can step off the trail to enjoy a picnic lunch by a ponderosa pine tree and listen to the peaceful sound of a lake trickling through the woods.

While at the park, cozy up on the bank of the water with a fishing rod and calm your soul with nature’s own music. While fishing, inhale a burst of fresh mountain air intermingled with butterscotch-scented ponderosa pine and fragrant sagebrush. Boredom floats away at Catherine Creek State Park as rainbow trout gather in abundance along the rushing waters. The folks back home will be so envious of all your amazing catches!
