Geocache Description:

This cache will make you think outside the box!

Hilgard Junction State Park runs parallel to Interstate 84 near the Grande Ronde River 8 miles outside of La Grande.


I gladly welcome back all who enjoyed my now archived Hilgard geocache! The park offers camping and daytime activities amongst the cottonwood and ponderosa pine. The river flows through the park, enticing anglers, rafters and swimmers. Beaver, mink, deer and a variety of birds inhabit the park area and can be viewed throughout the year. This is a favorite coniditioning and play run for the local rafters. 9 miles of floating the river (which I recommend in May) from here to Riverside park in La Grande... a good take-out spot. Just watch for rapids east of the bridge!
