Forever Oregon – Celebrating Oregon State Parks

Born in Oregon

Forever Oregon

The "Forever Oregon" blanket by Pendleton Woolen Mills

Get more information here: Forever Oregon

This limited-edition wool blanket honors our home state’s park system. In this design, Mt. Hood watches over a reflective lake flanked by forests, with geometric patterns honoring Oregon’s original inhabitants. Medallions for 12 beloved state parks are bordered by stripes in colors that echo their landscapes.

Purchase of this blanket helps support the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department’s “Park Explorer Series,” which aims to remove barriers to outdoor recreation and encourage diversity. Projects include building trails accessible to all, and making camping possible for folks who may otherwise never get to try it.

The Featured Parks

Oregon has 361 state parks, and we could feature only 12. We would like to invite you along on a visual tour that just touches on their special features. Enjoy!
