Beatty, Oregon

Beatty is located at the confluence of the Sycan and Sprague Rivers, just East of Klamath Falls. The historic mountain town of Beatty is recognized for its mines, pristine timber and ranch lands, loads of picturesque rustic campsites, and access to the Oregon, California, and Eastern Railroad Trail (OC&E Trail), Oregon’s longest linear state park!

OC&E Woods Line State Trail

This historic rail-to-trail conversion passes directly through Beatty, making it a popular stop for cyclists and hikers exploring the OC&E Woods Line State Trail—the longest linear state park in Oregon at over 100 miles. Visitors can enjoy peaceful stretches of trail that wind through open meadows, pine forests, and ranchland, with interpretive signs detailing the region’s logging and railroad history.

Outdoor Recreation

Beatty is a gateway to some of Southern Oregon’s lesser-known but stunning outdoor attractions. The nearby Sprague River is ideal for kayaking, fishing, and wildlife watching—especially for those hoping to spot waterfowl, eagles, and deer in their natural habitat. Just a short drive away, the expansive Fremont-Winema National Forest offers endless opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, camping, and OHV adventures through scenic backcountry trails.

For those seeking a more rugged experience, the nearby Gearhart Mountain Wilderness provides opportunities for backcountry hiking, camping, and fishing in alpine lakes.
