Summary

[edit]
Description

The "Grand Canyon" of Oregon!

Deep down into the 1,000-foot canyons of eastern Oregon, you'll find the Owyhee River.

Originally named for a trio of Hawaiian trappers exploring the uncharted river, the name of the Owyhee is derived from an earlier version of "Hawaii".

Today this river is well-known by rafters for its remote beauty and technically challenging rapids. But it's also a protected Wild & Scenic River maintained by the BLM to ensure its millions of years of history and archaeological values will carry on to future generations.
