Oregon's Outback


Posted by Rich


Highway 31 from La Pine to Lakeview is a scenic highway It's named Oregon's Outback. It is a long and mostly unpopulated road. There are two small towns along the way, Silver Lake, home of the world famous Cowboy Dinner Tree Restaurant (we ate there last year). Another wide spot in the road was Summer Lake but other than ranches we didn't see any "town". Paisley is a small friendly place people actually waved at us. We had stopped at wide spot and had a sandwich. This part of Oregon needs some more exploration.
We arrived at our planned destination of Goose Lake State Park at about 3:30. This is a beautiful park it reminds us of the now closed Crow Butte State Park in Washington. There are deer everywhere and they don't seem to mind the few campers in this park. We wish we had planned more time here.
