Battle Mountain Forest State Scenic Corridor
Purchased to protect the forest of ponderosa pine, larch, Douglas fir and
spruce. It provides prime habitat for all kinds of wildlife. The name
commemorates one of the last battles between native Americans and settlers in
eastern Oregon. This confrontation took place near the park. The park also
served as a Civilian Conservation Corps camp, whose members constructed the
water system, installed picnic tables and built the large granite stone
fireplace still available for use in the park. The park offers a convenient
place to gather for summer visitors. Spring brings with it the beauty of
abundant wildflowers and wildlife. Many people enjoy the many species of birds
in the park throughout the spring and summer
