L.L."Stub" Stewart State Park

L.L. "Stub" Stewart
1911-2005

OPRD's number one supporter, Loran L. "Stub" Stewart, served nearly 40 years on the State Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee and the Oregon Parks and Recreation Commission. Oregon State Parks grew by leaps and bounds, thanks in part to his enthusiasm and commitment.

Stub's famous career began in 1946 when he and his brother bought a small timber and lumber company. He built it into a multimillion-dollar enterprise, employing more than 2,000 people in mills throughout Oregon and northern California. He also was a state legislator, and served three terms in the HOuse of Representatives from 1951-1955.

Stub Stewart State Park is the playgound in your backyard. Just 31 miles west of Portland, the park offers camping, picnicking and hiking. If you lilke trails, this is the park for you. Explore nearly 17 miles of trails. Bring your horse or bicycle and spend hours exploring the far reaches of the park. After a day of play, finding a quiet spot to relax is easy in the 1,673 acres of lush rolling hills, forest and deep canyons.

Have time for a day trip only? The hilltop Day-use Area with its views of the Coast Range is perfect for a family gathering. Two trailheads, one at the north end and the other to the south, are gateways to hours of exploring.
