Unity Forest State Scenic Corridor
About
Unity Forest State Scenic Corridor is an 86-acre park in eastern Oregon, about 13 miles from Baker City. Small and compact, it makes an easy stop rather than a full-day destination. For the most comfortable weather, aim for June or September. Typical averages from the nearby Baker City airport weather station put highs around 77°F in June and 79°F in September, with fewer wet days than the colder months. Midsummer highs reach about 88°F, and winter highs stay in the upper 30s. Several other outings sit within about 10 miles. Burnt River offers canoeing about 7 miles away, and the Powder River Recreation Dirt Trail is a little over 8 miles out. Climbers can head to Burnt River Canyon, while the Phillips Lake North Shoreline Trail is a lakeside hike just under 10 miles from the corridor.
