La Grande Travel Guide
Welcome to La Grande, OR!
La Grande is located on the Oregon Trail, an historic route traveled by Lewis and Clark, two pioneer explorers who charted the west in the 1800s. Since their time, Oregon has welcomed a number of travelers, many of whom follow in the explorers' footsteps to hike and camp in the Oregon wilderness around La Grande. The Blue Mountain Forest State Scenic Corridor runs along the Oregon Trail and offers scenery that is unparalleled in the Northwest. Fishing is a popular outdoor activity in this area of the state, with 13 species of fish available for anglers to try for. La Grande's small-town roots are reflected in celebrations like the annual Kiwanis Club Pancake Breakfast, held each 4th of July. The campus of the Eastern Oregon University is situated in the heart of the town and lends university flair to the city's dynamic cultural scene.
