Luckiamute State Natural Area
About
Luckiamute State Natural Area is a 940-acre park in Oregon, about 5.5 miles from the town of Millersburg. The park holds one campground, which makes it a base for an overnight stay rather than only a day stop. Summer is the driest and warmest stretch. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Corvallis show highs around 83°F in July with only about three wet days that month, and June and September run milder, in the mid-70s. Several trails and a paddling route lie within a short drive. Killdeer Marsh Extension Trail and Dunlin Marsh Trail are both about 3.7 miles away, Coffin Butte Trail is about 4.6 miles off, and Soap Creek offers canoeing about 5.3 miles from the park.
