🏆 Willamette Valley Wayside — Former Oregon state wayside northwest of Junction City
Washburne State Wayside was an Oregon state wayside northwest of Junction City in the southern Willamette Valley. The federal Protected Areas Database (PAD-US), in data from 2012, lists it as a state wayside of about 38 acres, established in 1926. Today it no longer appears among the lands the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department owns or manages. It is not the same place as Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park, the campground park north of Florence on the coast.
Oregon State Parks publishes no visitor information for the wayside, and its 2019 park guide no longer lists it among the Willamette Valley day-use parks. Don’t plan a stop here as a state park.
