OUTBACK

The Oregon Outback offers endless outdoor activities that few have discovered. Grab your tent or pack up your RV and explore the highest elevation in the state!

​

​Discover the Oregon Outback’s magic from Lakeview, Oregon, at 4,800 feet beneath the striking Abert Rim. Unearth fiery Oregon sunstones, the state’s rare gem, at nearby BLM public areas or pay-to-dig mines like Double Eagle, keeping your sparkling treasures. In winter, explore the Fremont-Winema National Forest with cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or snowmobiling, then warm up at Hunter’s Hot Springs by the erupting Old Perpetual Geyser. Join the Lake County Round-Up, Oregon’s oldest rodeo, every Labor Day weekend at the Fairgrounds for bull riding, parades, and vibrant community spirit—all under starlit Oregon Outback International Dark Sky Sanctuary.
