Hines

Sandwiched between the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and the national forest near Burns, the former mill town of Hines maintains an Old West welcome and plentiful outdoor activities.

Go fishing in high-desert lakes, birding at the wildlife refuge or exploring on the High Desert Discovery Scenic Byway. The national forest draws hikers year-round and hunters seasonally. Get a flavor for the desert at Steens Mountain Brewing Company, one of Eastern Oregon’s newest craft breweries.
