Guy W. Talbot State
Park Guy Webster
Talbot and his family used this property as a summer estate
until 1929 when they donated it to the state. Today, it's a
beautiful picnic park. A modern picnic shelter is available
for rent (and is reservable).While the park is terrific for a
group or family picnic, the park is often uncrowded even on
the best days because of its seclusion. A gently sloping
grassy hill dotted with Port Orford cedars, Douglas firs,
alders and maples invites frisbee tossing and quiet
relaxation.
The tiny town of Latourell (pop. 12) borders the north side of
the park. Homeowners ask that visitors please respect their
privacy. A trail underneath the Historic Columbia River
Highway bridge leads directly to Latourelle Falls (250' tall),
only a few minutes away by foot.
