Guy W. Talbot State Park

NOTES
Guy W. Talbot Park is a beautiful picnic park. A modern picnic shelter is available for rent (and is reservable).While the park is terrific for a group or family picnic, the park is often uncrowded even on the best days because of its seclusion. A gently sloping grassy hill dotted with Port Orford cedars, Douglas firs, alders and maples invites frisbee tossing and quiet relaxation.
The tiny town of Latourell (pop. 12) borders the north side of the park. Homeowners ask that visitors please respect their privacy. A trail underneath the Historic Columbia River Highway bridge leads directly to Latourell falls, only a few minutes away by foot.
FEES
There is no fee to use this park. The picnic shelter fee is $35 for the first 50 people, then $.80 per person for more people.
