HAINES

HALFWAY

BIGGEST SMALL TOWN
Established at the turn of the century as a supply center for the agriculture industry, Haines was once home of the largest livestock shipping depot in the Northwest. Recently, the town has focused on the visitor trade. Built "pro bono" by countless volunteer hours and donated materials, Haines has developed an outstanding historic park, interpretive area and the Eastern Oregon Museum. The self-coined title above reflects the great pride of residents here. Haines is gateway to the Anthony Lakes Mountain Ski Resort.

THE DEEPEST GORGE
Entrance to the most dramatic and rugged country of the region, the Pine Valley offers access to the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area, North America's deepest gorge, Brownlee reservoir, as well as the Eagle Cap and Wallowa Mountains. Visitors statewide come to Halfway for the Baker County Fair and rodeo and the annual Lions Club Crab Feed. Surrounded by the natural scenic beauty of this area, it is easy to forget that this town only lies 50 miles from I-84.

FISH STORIES
Gateway to water recreation on the 40 mile long Brownlee Reservoir, and only minutes away from the sand dunes of Farewell Bend along the Snake River, Huntington was incorporated in 1891 during the thriving days of the railroad. Annual fishing competitions attract anglers from across the region.

EAGLE VALLEY
Fertile soil and a warm climate lured the first settlers to the area know as Eagle Valley. In early spring, watch for bald eagles along the headwaters of Brownlee Reservoir where world-class crappie, bass, and steelhead fishing can be found. Later in the year enjoy the Eagle Valley Days, and the National Jews Harp Festival.

DREDGING THE PAST
Originally founded by people mining rich gold deposits in and near the Sumpter Valley, this living ghost town has become a destination for visitors and residents. With the historic Sumpter Valley Railroad authentic train rides, the Gold Dredge State Park, Union Creek Campground, and Phillips Lake all nearby, it is easy to see why. Three times each summer Sumpter opens its doors to one of the region's largest open flea markets, bringing in thousands of visitors.

HUNTER'S PARADISE
Isolated on all sides by mountain ranges, the Burnt River Valley remains home to extensive cattle ranching operations. Abundant wildlife here make it a favorite for bird and large game hunters from across the country. A number of reservoirs such as Unity, Higgins, and Murray also provide good fishing opportunities.
