Exploring the South side of Philips Reservoir and the Powder River Recreation Area in Baker County Oregon.

Spent a little time at Philips Lake and the Powder River Recreation Area along the Elkhorn Scenic Byway.

Phillip’s lake is a popular destination along the Elkhorn Scenic Byway for local watchable wildlife enthusiasts with an abundant population of bird species year-round and particularly in spring and fall migration.

The lake is surrounded by hiking and mountain bike trails and in the winter the Shoreline Loop trail becomes a popular Nordic ski trail.

Birding enthusiasts can see more than 300 bird species throughout Baker County.
A few of our favorite nearby birding hot spots include the Sumpter Dredge Wildlife area between McEwen Station and the Sumpter Dredge. We didn't see a lot of birds on this trip but did see lots of early summer wildflowers.

Just north of Phillips Lake below the Mason Dam visitors can explore easily accessible trails along the Powder River at the Powder River Rec Area. This is always a fun stop and offers easy access to fishing with trails along both sides of the Powder River providing easy river access and beautiful views along the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway
