Emigrant Springs First Day Hike 2025!

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED due to snowshoe availability.

Come join us!  Enjoy the winter wonderland of Emigrant Springs State Park through a snowshoe/hike in the beautiful Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon.  Your hike will be led by a park ranger who will share knowledge of the area. We will will begin around 10:00 A.M. depending on winter road conditions, with the hike being at a slow to moderate pace and lasting about an hour and a half. Elevation gain is minimal on easy to medium terrain.  

Please wear good warm hiking or snow boots and bring additional layers (any winter snow gear, like a hat, gloves, and warm drinks) to ensure your fun adventure!  Plan on hiking 1-2 miles on snow covered trails/paths around Emigrant Springs State Park.  Snowshoes will be provided if snow conditions are favorable.  If snow conditions aren't feasible, we will proceed with a normal hike.  

Meet-up Location: Emigrant Springs State Park – 65586 Old Oregon Trail Rd., Meacham, OR 97859  Upon entering the main entrance, take a left and look for the orange cones and sign that will be posted in the main parking lot across from the registration kiosk. Park staff will be on site to meet you 30 minutes ahead to help you find parking and get fitted with snowshoes.

Due to the nature and seasonality of this hike, we cannot offer accessible accommodations. Dogs are welcome to join us on no longer than a 6’ leash.  

We look forward to seeing you!
