Sunriver Guide 2025

La Pine State Park La Pine State Park is best known as the home of Oregon’s largest ponderosa pine. Affectionately known as Big Tree, the behemoth ponderosa towers 162 feet tall, and experts say it might be as old as 500 years. Check out the tree found along a scenic pine forest trail and explore the rest of the ten miles of trails on foot, horseback or a mountain bike. The park offers year-round camping with 80 full hookup sites, as well as ten log cabins for those who do not want to “rough it.” Two cabins are designated pet friendly.
