  • Geographic Variations in Water Quality and Recreational Use Along the Upper Wallowa River and Selected Tributaries
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Theodore R. McDowellfor the degree ofDoctor of Philosophy in Geography presented on December 21, 1979 Title:Geographic Variations in Water Quality and Recreational Use Along the Upper Wallowa River and Selected Tributaries Abstract approved: Redacted for privacy Assistant Pro(sp)sornarl es Rosenfeld Physical, chemical and bacterial water quality parameters of the upper Wallowa River were sampled periodically between July 2, 1978 and June 9, 1979 at nine stream and lake sampling sites.Water upstream from Wallowa Lake was typified by low nutrient concentra- tions ( generally below detectable limits except for nitrates), low. specific conductivity (50-99 micromhos), and water temperatures below 15°C.Results of bacterial sampling were inconclusive, but sites and areas warranting further study were identified. An intensive study of spatial variations in bacterial water quality and recreational use was conducted at 15 stream and lake sampling sites on the East Fork of the Wallowa River between July 5 and September 3, 1979.Streamflow, precipitation, water temperatures, and fecal coliform bacteria counts were determined two or three times per week and during storm events.Levels and patterns of recreational use were also monitored during that period.Fecal coliform counts varied significantly (at the 0.001 p level) with geographic patterns of recreational use, but there was no significant relationship between levels of recreational use.Bacterial water quality also varied signi- ficantly (at the 0.001 p level) between

They were an innovation as so little had been done by any state in the Union. The Oregon parks system owes its beginning to the thought of highway beautification advocated by many leaders of the state, including the Governors, the early State Highway Commissioners and Highway Engi- neers.

  • Recreation Overview
    APPENDIX 8-1 RECREATION OVERVIEW SUMMARY: Recreation and tourism are increasingly important parts of Wallowa County’s economy. Overall tourism and recreation spending has doubled over the last ten years, with an increased emphasis on conventional tourism (As opposed to more traditional recreation such as hunting, fishing and backcountry trips, conventional tourism is more centered on nice lodging, fine dining, shopping and sight seeing). People come to Wallowa County for scenery, solitude, camping, picnicking, boating, snow and water skiing, snowmobiling, auto touring, hiking and backpacking, horseback riding, fishing, hunting, and to visit the shops, galleries and restaurants in the Joseph and the Wallowa Lake area.. Recreation is centered around Wallowa Lake and the Eagle Cap Wilderness and to a lesser extent the streams and rivers of the County including the Snake River and the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area. Tourism is centered around Joseph and the Wallowa Lake area. PAST AND PRESENT: Recreation and tourism are considered a primary part of the County’s economy , and are the fastest growing segment of the economy. Wallowa Lake and Joseph are the center of tourism in the County and the State Park at Wallowa Lake is a major attraction. The Joseph Economic Improvement District and resultant improvements has turned Joseph into a center for tourism, and has led to a doubling of businesses on main street. This industry is highly seasonal and operates from late May to mid October, with peak activity from the first of July to mid October. The tourist facilities at the lake, including the State Park parking area, the moorage and docks, short term rentals, the motels, and the restaurants, now stand idle during the winter months.

    Field-Trip Guide to the Vents, Dikes, Stratigraphy, and Structure of the Columbia River Basalt Group, Eastern Oregon and Southeastern Washington Scientific Investigations Report 2017–5022–N U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Cover. Palouse Falls, Washington. The Palouse River originates in Idaho and flows westward before it enters the Snake River near Lyons Ferry, Washington. About 10 kilometers north of this confluence, the river has eroded through the Wanapum Basalt and upper portion of the Grande Ronde Basalt to produce Palouse Falls, where the river drops 60 meters (198 feet) into the plunge pool below. The river’s course was created during the cataclysmic Missoula floods of the Pleistocene as ice dams along the Clark Fork River in Idaho periodically broke and reformed. These events released water from Glacial Lake Missoula, with the resulting floods into Washington creating the Channeled Scablands and Glacial Lake Lewis. Palouse Falls was created by headward erosion of these floodwaters as they spilled over the basalt into the Snake River. After the last of the floodwaters receded, the Palouse River began to follow the scabland channel it resides in today. Photograph by Stephen P. Reidel.

  • CONFLICTS in the MULTIPLE USE of WALLOWA LAKE Abstract Approved Redacted for Privacy Keith W
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF KENNETH MAC KENZIE CRAIG for the MASTER OF SCIENCE (Name) (Degree) in GEOGRAPHY presented on May 3, 1967 (Major) (Date) Title: CONFLICTS IN THE MULTIPLE USE OF WALLOWA LAKE Abstract approved Redacted for Privacy Keith W. Muckleston The purpose of this thesis is to examine the problem of the increasing competition between recreation and irrigation at Wallowa Lake. Originally Wallowa Lake was an abundant source of fish for the Indians but the advent of irrigation in the area by the early o settlers eliminated the blueback salmon (Ancorhynchus nerka) run that spawned in the lake. This was caused by the establishment of unscreened irrigation ditches in the Wallowa River below the lake and the construction of a concrete dam in the outlet of the lake by . the Associated Ditch Companies. The dam raised the natural level of the lake 28.4 feet, creating an irrigation reservoir. The use of this water for irrigation purposes has caused considerable erosion along the steep banks of the east and west moraines, reducing the desirability of the beaches and hampering the use of boating facilities. The Pacific Power and Light Company used a considerable amount of water from the lake for their generating plant in Joseph from 1929 to 1956. This limited the number of times the lake was filled to capacity, lessening the amount of sloughing of the relatively undeveloped shoreline property around the lake since the greatest damage occurred when the lake was full. After 1950, many more people purchased lots and built cabins on the west moraine and became increasingly aware of the erosion of their property.

  • Wallowa County Wildfire Protection Plan August 30, 2017
    Wallowa County Wildfire Protection Plan August 30, 2017 IV. Wallowa County Profile Introduction The Nez Perce Tribe originally occupied a territory that encompassed virtually all of what is now north central Idaho as well as extensive portions of what is now southeastern Washington and northeastern Oregon, including Wallowa County. Wallowa County has a long history of Native American influence, with the Wallowa Band of the Nez Perce once making the Wallowa Valley their home for hunting, fishing, and gathering. They followed changing seasons from headwaters of rivers in spring, to high mountains of the Wallowas in summer and returned to deep canyons of the Snake River and its tributaries in winter (Nez Perce 2017). Wallowa County, Oregon's far northeastern county, shares state boundaries with both Washington and Idaho. The county is mostly mountainous and forms the headwaters of several important tributaries to the Columbia/Snake River System. About 3/5 of the land area in Wallowa County is publicly owned, including lands administered by a variety of federal, state, and local agencies (Table IV – 1). Most public land is part of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest and is administered by the United States Forest Service (USFS). Wallowa County is considered part of the northern portion of the Blue Mountain range characterized by a dissection of ridges and valleys typical of the Blue Mountains. The rugged landscape hosts the Blue’s most scenic mountains called the Wallowas. These snow-capped peaks, dramatic river canyons are classic glacial topography (WCChamber, 2017). Wallowa County encompasses 3,152 square miles (2,017,280 acres).

  • Economic Analysis of Outdoor Recreation in Oregon Executive Summary
    ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF OUTDOOR RECREATION IN OREGON EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Across all of Oregon, there are thousands of recreation sites and opportunities where one can hike, HOW THIS COMPARES TO OTHER ANALYSES camp, bike, picnic, hunt, kite surf, and more; and every year, billions of dollars are spent by folks enjoying Oregon’s outdoors. Recognizing that outdoor recreation is a major contributor to the state’s economy, This analysis is consistent with findings from other research conducted on Oregon’s outdoor recreation economy. In Travel Oregon, the Oregon Office of Outdoor Recreation (OREC), and Oregon Department of Fish and 2017, the Outdoor Industry Association estimated that $16.4 billion was spent on outdoor recreation trips and gear Wildlife (ODFW) came together to commission a study on the impacts of the outdoor recreation economy. purchases in Oregon, an estimate slightly higher than the one presented here. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) estimated that spending on outdoor recreation in Oregon in 2019 contributed $7.2 billion to Oregon’s GDP and The study found that in 2019, outdoor recreation in Oregon supported $15.6 billion in spending. supported 88,000 jobs. While these estimates vary from the findings of this analysis, it is important to understand Consumer spending on outdoor recreation supports businesses and jobs throughout the state, and then that the BEA analysis does not consider local recreation in their analysis, making the results more comparable to the ripples throughout Oregon’s economy as business income and wages are re-spent, causing economic visitor expenditure estimate presented earlier. effects in sectors not directly tied to outdoor recreation.
