Echo Meadows

The Echo Meadows historic site features nearly one mile of visible Oregon Trail ruts located on 320 acres of public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management.

A half mile hiking path with an overlook provides viewing of the wagon ruts and abundant local wildlife. In this designated Area of Critical Environmental Concern, the Oregon Trail and cultural resources are protected by law.

Access to the site is 5.5 miles west of Echo. Turn north from Highway 320 onto a gravel road. Proceed 1.2 mile to site entrance and parking area. No sanitary facilities or drinking water is available. The site is closed to all off road vehicles beyond parking lot.

A kiosk houses interpretive panels with Oregon Trail information.
