Sams Walker Day Use Area & Trail (#4402)

A secluded pastoral setting with a short barrier-free gravel loop trail providing interpretive signs about the site's history and ecology. Very lightly used, this is a great family picnic site.

This is a good site for bird-watching and views of the Oregon side of the Gorge are impressive.
