Summary

[edit]
Description

The gravel McDonald Ferry Road meanders eastward toward the McDonald Crossing Interpretive Site and the Wild and Scenic John Day River, Dec. 21, 2017, by Greg Shine, BLM.

Thousands of resettlers traveling west on the Oregon Trail used the shallow river ford, known today as McDonald Crossing, to traverse the lower John Day River on their way to the Willamette Valley and lands beyond. Today, McDonald Crossing is a rare confluence where national historic trail meets national wild and scenic river. At the McDonald Crossing interpretive site –a short distance from the western, Sherman County riverbank –a historic monument, ramada and informational signs help interpret the Oregon National Historic Trail and the area’s history.
