Welcome

Wallowa County is a bit off the beaten path – and that’s part of its charm

Wallowa County has something for every age and every person in every season. Hike some of the highest peaks in the state and absorb breathtaking views. Go rafting in the deepest gorge in the United States – or take it in from the top. Go fishing or hunting. Swim in or take a boat onto the crystal-blue waters of Wallowa Lake. View the county’s numerous art exhibits, enjoy a festival or spend a night at the rodeo at one of the county’s signature events, Chief Joseph Days. Learn about the people – Nez Perce and pioneers alike – who previously called this land home. Enjoy great food and great people throughout the county. The 7,500 people who live here know this is a special place. You’re about to learn that yourself. Welcome.
