PORTLAND — Oregon State Parks and Recreation Department has released the 2014 Oregon State Parks Guide, a full-color, magazine-style brochure featuring detailed information about more than 200 of Oregon state campgrounds, day-use areas, trails, bikeways and heritage sites.
Chris Havel, spokesman for the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, called it a “great resource for park visitors,” adding in a statement from the Salem office: “It’s one of our most popular publications because it gives essential information about the location of each park, its unique assets or activities, and the facilities and campsites available there.”
The guide has been updated, according to Havel, with revised or expanded listings for each property, up-to-date rules and regulations, and the addition of new parks and scenic bikeways. Special icons denote parks with pet-friendly yurts or cabins, day-use parking fees, scenic views and other features, as well as facilities that are accessible to people with disabilities.
Enhancements include an enlarged statewide map, an index for individual parks and a new “snapshot” design with photos that convey the diversity of each region.
