   In 1872 Commodore Perry Maupin, son of a rugged Kentuckian and figure of note, Howard Maupin, established a ferry across the Deschutes River above the large island (close to the Oasis Resort camping area). Mrs. W.H. Staats acquired the town site from her brother and together with her husband set about preparation of a town for the railroads that were to be built up the Deschutes Canyon. Staats named the town site Maupin’s Ferry, but postal authorities cut off the last word. Since 1909, the town has been called Maupin.
   Maupin is located on both sides of the Deschutes River right on Highway 197. Maupin has a Grade School, Junior High, and High School in the South Wasco School District. A small town lifestyle will greet you anywhere you go in Maupin. The town offers most services you need to enjoy your stay in the area.

The Tygh Indians traded with Oregon Trail pioneers in this fertile valley. Sugar, coffee, and cloth were prized goods of the day. In current times, exposed rock formations testify to the volcanic origins of the area. You can travel through these ancient landscapes to more modern conveniences of RV accommodations at the Fairgrounds. Today the community hosts the Wasco County Fair the third weekend in August.




Wamic is the last old village along the Barlow Road before entering the forested mountain section of the journey. Wamic offers the traveler everything from camping supplies and cold beverages to home-cooked meals, a nine hole golf course and year round fishing at a lakeside resort.







At the edge of Juniper Flat lies the tiny village of Pine Grove. This marks the transition to the Mount Hood Forest from the desert. This area is also located right on the edge of the White River Game Unit. A small market is available for your basic needs.




A sportsman’s paradise set in the forest on a small lake. Rock creek provides quiet solitude as the lake is closed to motorized boating. A great place to fish and there are forest service campgrounds nearby.

Scrumptious fare awaits you at several dining destinations in Maupin itself...

...You can’t just sleep in your car, so give one of these places a call for a nice comfy bed, or a campsite.
