J S Burres State Park, located in Oregon, is a beautiful and serene natural retreat that offers visitors an array of outdoor activities. Nestled along the Clackamas River's banks, this park provides opportunities for fishing and boating with its boat ramp access to the river. The lush greenery surrounding it makes it perfect for picnicking or simply relaxing amidst nature while enjoying scenic views of the waterway. It also features well-maintained trails ideal for hiking enthusiasts who want to explore more of its picturesque landscapes filled with diverse flora and fauna.
Located in Clackamas County, Oregon near the town of Estacada, this natural area was initially established as a state park by the State Highway Commission in 1963. The land for it had been acquired between 1954 and 1970 through purchases from private owners.
The site is named after John S. Burres who served on the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee during its formative years (1947-1951). He played an instrumental role in developing policies that guided early operations of parks throughout Oregon.
Over time, additional lands were added to expand recreational opportunities at this location which now spans over nine acres along with access to fishing spots on both sides of Clear Creek's confluence with Clackamas River.
In addition to providing outdoor activities such as picnicking and hiking trails amidst lush greenery, visitors can also enjoy views overlooking rapids where these two water bodies meet.
Today it continues serving locals & tourists alike offering them respite from city life while preserving nature's beauty for future generations.
