Winema National Forest If you are
interested in getting away from it all, you may
wish to visit the Fremont-Winema National Forests
in Southern Oregon. Administratively combined in
2002, the Fremont-Winema National Forests offer 2.3
million acres to explore! The heavily timbered
western portion of the forests is bordered by the
crest of the Cascade Mountain Range and Crater Lake
National Park, and stretches east into the Klamath
River Basin, an area known for its year-round
sunshine. Near the floor of the Basin, the forest
opens to vast marshes and meadows associated with
Upper Klamath Lake and the Williamson River. To the
north and east extensive stands of ponderosa and
lodgepole pine grow on deep pumice and ash that
blanketed the area during the eruption of Mt.
Mazama (now Crater Lake) nearly 7,000 years ago.
The eastern portion of the Forests offers expansive
views, dramatic cliffs, and solitude. The area is
known as Oregon's Outback, and provides the
self-reliant receptionist the opportunity to
discover nature in a rustic environment.
