After following the Snake River for more than 330 miles, pioneers heading west on the Oregon Trail said farewell to the river at a bend near this state park.
An old pioneer wagon stands at the park entrance, and remnants of the trail are visible north of the park on Hwy. 30.
Today, Huntington is called the "catfish capital," and bass are also willing to bite. The park has a boat launch and fish pier, and a wheelchair-accessible fishing station.
As the pioneers did, visitors to the 73-acre park find an oasis amid the scrubby high desert. The terrain is rolling, rocky, verdant and dotted with wildflowers in spring. No trails are marked, but hikers and mountain bikers range freely through the park.
Camping includes 30 tent campsites and 101 sites with electricity. Ten sites are open year-round. There is a wheelchair-accessible campsite. There are also two rustic cabins available in the summer season, both are wheelchair-accessible.
The park is on the Reservations Northwest system, through which campsites may be reserved, for an additional fee, from two days to nine months in advance.
