Oregon Route 31 is an Oregon state highway that runs between the Central Oregon cities of La Pine and Lakeview. It is comprised of most of the Fremont Highway, named after John C. Fremont, and which is Highway 19. The entire length of OR 31 is part of the Outback Scenic Byway, though the byway extends further south beyond the end of OR 31, to the California border.

[edit] Route description

OR 31 runs in a northwest-southeast direction, but is signed north-south. The northern terminus of the highway is at an intersection with U.S. Route 97 near the town of La Pine. From there, the highway heads east then southeast, passing nearby several natural attractions such as Fort Rock State Natural Area, Hole-in-the-Ground and Summer Lake. Near the southern end of Lake Albert, and north of Lakeview, the highway ends at an interchange with U.S. Route 395. A previous routing from a 1916 map shows the highway's northern terminus near Millican on US 20, proceeding down USFS Road 25, then OR 18 through Fort Rock through Silver Lake.

The highway is a 2-lane, rural road for its entire length.
