We meet at the Minam Store at 10:00 am for the start of our Grande Ronde River trips. The Store is located on Hwy 82 about 35 miles northeast of La Grande, Oregon or approximately 280 miles east of Portland, Oregon.

From I-84 take exit 261 and go northeast on Hwy 82 to the river. After about 35 miles you will see a sign pointing to the Minam State Park, look for the All Star van and rafts parked at the boat ramp next to the store. Services are limited so take care of last minute needs in La Grande.

Local hotels in La Grande are: Best Western (541) 963-4498 or Super 8 (541) 963-2925.

Additional local information can be found at Wallowa County Chamber of Commerce (541) 426-4622, or online at BLM Information.
