Three Island Crossing State Park

Okay, so you remember the Oregon Trail, right? Of course you do—it’s only the best computer game, well, ever. Why is this relevant? Well, you can basically live the Oregon Trail at Three Island Crossing State Park. The park has the Oregon Trail History and Education Center, where you can get your learn on, and it’s also home to one of the most famous river crossings along the trail, the Snake River. A self-guided tour will take you to some original wagon ruts, among other pieces of history. This fascinating park is becoming more and more popular each year, so camping reservations might come in handy. Now, if you can just manage to secure some oxen and a covered wagon to ford the river, then we’ll have proof that childhood dreams really do come true.
