Bald Peak State Park
State Park Information
State Park Overview
Bald Peak (1,629 elev.) is located where the worlds of high-tech and rural Oregon meet. Restaurants, shops, nightlife and a fast pace abound in nearby Hillsboro. Farms, wineries, fruit stands and a slower pace of life can be found in Newberg. Take a relaxing, scenic drive through the Chehalem hills from Hillsboro to Newberg. Along the way, stop at Bald Peak State Park, where you will experience a stunning view of the Willamette Valley and five snowcapped Cascade peaks on a clear day (Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Ranier and Mt. Adams in Washington and
Mt. Hood and Mt. Jefferson in Oregon).
Theres a nice grassy hillside perfect for a picnic (theres no drinking water at the park, though). Afterward, go for a short stroll through a Douglas fir woodland.
