Fishermans access on Columbia River just below the John Day Dam. Access from the Rufus, Oregon exit on I-84 and cross under freeway towards the dam visitors center, then turn left and go to end of pavement. Open area for camping up to 7 days. Pit toilets in several places on the land. Nice views of the river. A little close to I-84, but there is a berm that blocks most of the traffic noise.
Lat/Lon is N45 41.601 W120 45.322

    Beautiful area take Exit 109 at Rufus and turn right then a left and go to the end of the road. Spent two days sitting and watching the kite boarders fly. Could stay out of the wind and look out my windows inside in my lounge chair. Life is good.
