Lower White River Wilderness Area Brochure

The United States Congress designated the Low- er White River Wilderness in 2009 and it now has a total of 2,806 acres. All of this wilderness is lo- cated in Oregon and is managed by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service. The White River rises in the high Cascades in western Wasco County, in the Mount Hood Na- tional Forest on the southeast flank of Mount Hood. The headwaters are just below White River Glacier in White River Canyon. Additions to the Mount Hood Wilderness protect upper por- tions of the river, while the Lower White River Wilderness, southeast of the majestic Mount Hood Wilderness and east of highway 26, protect a segment of lower White River stretch. Be sure to contact the BLM’s Prineville District or the Mt. Hood National Forest for the latest con- ditions and access to the spectacular Lower White River Wilderness Area!
