Cove Palisade State Park

Cove Palisade is a State Park built round a deep gorge cut by the Crooked river into the volcanic lava fields of the area. This gorge has been dammed and is now a huge reservoir, with spectacular views.

 The campground is right next to the gorge,at the top of a 600 foot drop. It is however a very pretty and well kept campground, with many trees that are in blossom at the moment. All this against a backdrop of the Cascade Mountains, though cloud obscured most of them for most of the time we were there.
