Wallowa County, Oregon

Welcome to Wallowa County, Oregon

The Home of Seymour Spots Appaloosas

Wallowa County is located in the far northeast corner of Oregon, and it’s bordered by the states of Washington and Idaho. The county is home to Hells Canyon National Recreation Area, Wallowa Lake, and the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area. As of the 2010 census, the population was 7,008 in an area of 3,152 square miles (8,160 km²). Wallowa County is included in the eight-county definition of Eastern Oregon. 

 

Wallowa Lake and the Wallowa Mountains attract tourists to this region. The lake is a natural glacial formation, held in on three sides by prominent moraines. The microclimate is somewhat different from the surrounding areas and provides a cool retreat during the summer. Other geographic features include:

• Grande Ronde River
• Joseph Canyon
• Hells Canyon
• Wallowa River

Wallowa County is also the home of Chief Joseph Days Rodeo and Mountain High Broncs & Bulls.

Visit the Wallowa County Chamber of Commerce for a complete list of events.
