About George W. Joseph State Natural Area

Named for a former Oregon Supreme Court justice, this natural area sits along the Columbia River Gorge between Latourell Falls and Guy W. Talbot State Park, with trail access connecting it to both. It protects a stretch of gorge land without developed visitor facilities of its own, relying on its neighboring parks for entry points.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Contact the state park agency before you go.
