The number of people visiting @ORStateParks reached an all-time high in 2024, fueled by a boom of people traveling to every part of the coast.
It’s another indication that demand for camping, hiking and outdoor recreation isn’t slowing: tinyurl.com/59j9hmc2

I'm no fan of reciprocal tariffs, but I do think that #WAStateParks should levy 25% fees on anyone with an Oregon license plate until #ORStateParks stops charging us an extra 25% to camp.
And all of them should lower their prices because public lands should not base their pricing on market rates.

I wrote about what ended up being Oregon's second busiest year on record at @ORStateParks.
Oregon is no longer setting new records for visits each year, something that happened throughout the 2010s. Rather, we've plateaued at a historically high level.

Please note: @OregonDOT @ORStateParks now say bicycle users can still ride on I-84 "at their own risk".
Our story said it was "closed" and "prohibited" to bicycling. We've edited the story and regret any confusion it caused.
