Newport

Ellmaker State Wayside

On the highway between Newport and Corvallis, this land works equally well as a highway rest stop and tree preserve. Fruit trees are still found on the south side. Four picnic tables border a spacious, grassy meadow. A small stream flows from the northeast through the fir forest to join the Tumtum River. There is no fee to use this park. The primary activities at this Wayside are picnicking, relaxing and enjoying the outdoors.
