Enjoy the high desert landscape and meandering water along Oregon’s longest free-flowing river.
The John Day River is located in Central Oregon and is one of the longest free-flowing rivers in the contiguous United States. The river is named for John Day, a hunter and fur trader who encountered the river in 1812 as part of the Astoria Overland Expedition.
The river flows 284 miles from its headwaters in the Strawberry Mountains to the Columbia River.
