Paisley, Oregon

A High Desert Hideaway

Surrounded by sagebrush plains, rimrock cliffs, and ponderosa pines, Paisley is a quiet town where Oregon’s frontier spirit is alive and well. Tucked along the banks of the Chewaucan River, this remote destination is a hub for outdoor adventure, high desert history, and geothermal wonders—perfect for travelers looking to explore the wide-open beauty of Southern Oregon’s Outback.

What to See and Do

Summer Lake Hot Springs

Just 20 minutes north of town, Summer Lake Hot Springs offers a one-of-a-kind soak in mineral-rich waters surrounded by dramatic high desert scenery. The rustic bathhouse and outdoor pools are popular with road trippers, stargazers, and wellness seekers.

Paisley Mosquito Festival

Don’t let the name fool you—this quirky annual event in late July is a beloved small-town celebration. Enjoy live music, races, local food, crafts, a parade, and plenty of high desert charm in this fun and festive weekend.

Fremont-Winema National Forest

Step into the wilderness just outside of Paisley, where hundreds of miles of trails, alpine lakes, and forest roads await. Hike to Campbell Lake, go wildlife watching near Summer Lake Wildlife Area, or fish along the Chewaucan River. This region is rich with activities available in the Paisley area, from birding to horseback riding.
