Oregon’s natural resources are an embarrassment of riches. 27 million acres of forest lands, 34 million acres of grasslands, high desert, mountain ranges, wetlands and urban areas, 300 miles of ocean coastline, 450 miles of Columbia River shoreline, 112,000 miles of rivers and streams, and 6,000 lakes and reservoirs are open to the public!
The diversity of habitats means thousands of native and migrating fish and wildlife species are able to thrive. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife manages these populations with a goal of providing the best economic, commercial, recreational and aesthetic benefits for present and future generations of Oregonians and visitors.
