Bly, Oregon

Bly exudes a peaceful and rustic charm that resonates with those seeking a quieter, more laid-back way of life. Life in Bly revolves around the stunning natural landscapes that surround the town. Residents and visitors alike are treated to sweeping vistas of arid high desert, accented by the majestic presence of nearby mountain ranges.

Outdoor Recreation

Bly’s proximity to outdoor wonders, such as the Fremont-Winema National Forest and Gearhart Mountain Wilderness, makes it an ideal haven for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers. For those interested in cycling, horseback riding, or leisurely walks, the OC&E Woods Line State Trail passes through Bly. As Oregon’s longest linear state park, this 105-mile trail follows the historic rail lines and provides scenic views of the surrounding landscapes.

Historical Significance

Bly holds a poignant place in history as the only location in the continental United States where Americans were killed as the result of enemy action during World War II by a Japanese Balloon Bomb. The Shrapnel Tree still stands. The Mitchell Monument commemorates the tragic event of May 5, 1945 with a stone monument and bronze plaque listing the names of the victims.

Additionally, the Bly Ranger Station, constructed between 1936 and 1942 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, stands as a testament to the area’s forestry heritage. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the station offers insight into the region’s conservation efforts and architectural history.
