Oregon Ghost Towns

Oregon’s ghost towns span the full diversity of the state’s landscape and history. Gold mining towns in the Siskiyou Mountains and the Eastern Oregon high desert, logging communities in the Coast Range and the Cascades, and coastal fishing villages that could not survive the depletion of the fisheries all left abandoned settlements across the state. Oregon ghost towns range from the relatively accessible to the genuinely remote, offering something for every level of explorer.
