Mount Pisgah/Howard Buford Recreation Area is a wonderful place to recreate, whether you’re there to hike to the summit, check out the arboretum, or look at the many wildflowers along the river bank, this beautiful sanctuary has something to offer everyone who wants to get out into nature. It is not always feasible for everyone to get out of town for those longer day hike excursions, so Mount Pisgah is the perfect place to go for a short after work or weekend morning hike.
​The parking lot is very large, room for about 200 cars. Right by the parking lot there is a little visitor’s center where one can pick up information about the arboretum and also info about renting the barn that they have built here for school trips or wedding type functions (fun fact – the author of Hike Oregon had her wedding here!)
