The 8-mile Chimney Rock segment offers 9 developed campgrounds and 3 day-use areas and is popular for camping, fishing, hiking, bicycling and for viewing eagles, ospreys and other wildlife. The 2.6-mile (round trip) hike to Chimney Rock rewards visitors with expansive views of the Crooked River Canyon and Cascades.
