Cottonwood Canyon State Park, established in 2013, is Oregon’s second largest state park with over 8,000 acres on the lower John Day River. Prior to the Park’s founding, the land was privately owned for decades with limited public access. In 2016, Oregon State Parks set out to create a unique recreation experience that aligns with the scale of the landscape. The Parks department brought on Portland-based Walker Macy to do the master plan, which included 6 cabins, a shower/bath facility, and a central anchoring element—Cottonwood Canyon Experience Center.
