What to see and do

At the wildlife area: Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area features the largest hardstem bulrush marsh remaining in Northeast Oregon. Because this area is intended to protect nesting and migrating waterfowl, public access is limited to viewpoints and a one-mile nature trail, except during hunting season. The best observation points are along Foothill and Peach roads. A bird checklist (pdf) is available, and group tours can be arranged. A fishing pond is located on the wildlife area.

Nearby: Wallowa-Whitman National Forest offers camping, picnicking, hiking, horseback riding, cycling and fishing, as well as a variety of winter activities.

Directions

The wildlife area is located five miles south of La Grande. Take exit 268 off I-84 to Foothill Road.
