Join us as we explore the stunning Wildwood Recreation Site just outside of Welches, OR. We will be walking about 3.5 miles for this one. This is a beautiful, well-developed nature park with trails leading through old growth forest, along the riverside, and out into the wetlands of the Salmon River area. The trails are mostly level with a few ups and downs and comprised of dirt, pavement in areas, and boardwalk through the wetlands. Good clean restrooms abound at this site too...what a relief!

A daily vehicle fee is $5 per car. An electronic fee machine is onsite to accept credit card payments or you can purchase before you leave your house at https://www.recreation.gov/activitypass/76480a65-dd8d-11ea-9a16-669b13170d67

Alternatively, you may use the Wildwood Annual Pass, Interagency Passes (America the Beautiful passes), and Golden Passes in place of the daily vehicle fee. Display those passes on the dash or hang from the rearview mirror.

We'll be parking by the GROUP picnic area. Wildwood Recreation site is at 65670 E HWY. 26, Welches, OR 97067 on the right side of Highway 26 just past the Mount Hood Village RV Park. Once on the road into Wildwood, there will be a payment kiosk. Take the FIRST RIGHT after the payment kiosk to get to the group picnic area and look for Marlena 's gray Audi
