Clyde Holliday State Recreation Site

The Painted Hills, the Frenchglen Loop, The Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and the Kam Wah Chung State Heritage Site are just some of the treasures that define the area surrounding Clyde Holliday State Recreation Site. At Clyde, you can study the shape of the John Day River, you can marvel at the sweet spice of Cottonwood buds and sit under the shade of their willowy branches while you appreciate the noble posturing of Mountain Elk and soak in the raw beauty of eastern Oregon terrain. This oasis by the river is apt to keep you coming back again and again to hike, bird, bait a largemouth bass and pedal through the charm of old-timey scenic bikeways.
