The Nature Trail at the Emigrant Springs State Heritage Area is perfect for stretching your legs and learning a lot about the legendary Oregon Trail at the same time.

You can get to the Nature Trail via the nearby open campground, which lets you enjoy the fresh air on a small path through beautiful forest areas. After you have wandered through nature, you will return to the parking lot, where you can marvel at an authentic covered wagon with draft animals at the end of the short tour.
