Fremont-Winema National Forests
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fremont-Winema National Forests are two United States National Forests that were administratively combined in 2002. They cover territory in southern Oregon from the crest of the Cascades on the west past Lakeview in the east. The northern end of the forests is bounded by U.S. Route 97 on the west, and Oregon State Route 31 on the east. To the south, the state border with California forms the boundary of the forests.
The Fremont National Forest is named after the explorer John C. Frémont. The Winema National Forest is named after Toby Riddle, who was also known as "Winema". The forests are managed by the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The Warner Canyon Ski Area was part of the forests until a land swap transferred ownership to Lake County.
