Malheur County, Oregon
Malheur County sprawls across Oregon’s southeastern corner, bordering Nevada and Idaho. It’s a land of wide-open spaces and big skies. It’s Oregon’s second-largest county, but you won’t find any traffic jams here.
You can find the high desert landscape here with sagebrush and rugged canyons. Ontario is the largest town, which sits right on the Idaho border. But the county seat belongs to Vale.
The Owyhee River cuts through with world-class whitewater rafting for the adventurous. Agriculture is big business here with onions as a major crop. Lake Owyhee State Park is in a remote area on the shore of a scenic desert canyon reservoir. If you’re looking for solitude and starry nights, Malheur County’s got you covered.
