▶️ The Great Outdoors: Choral Concert in a Cave

by
February 8, 2023

Many artists are inspired by natural beauty, thus the popularity of landscape painting and landscape photography. In this week’s Great Outdoors, Brooke Snavely and Wanderlust Tours show us an entirely different kind of art in nature — a choral concert in a cave.

Where to fish during the stay-at-home order

by
April 22, 2020

Fishing season opens today on three of Central Oregon’s largest lakes: Crane Prairie, Odell and Wickiup. But, closures of public facilities limits access to a few private resorts. On this week’s edition of The Great Outdoors, Brooke Snavely takes us to one of the few places anglers can legally launch a boat without violating the governor’s stay-at-home order.

People who violate closure orders in developed campgrounds, boat launches and picnic areas may be ticketed, however the U.S. Forest Service says it is seeking voluntary compliance. It is still legal to visit undeveloped areas and camp in dispersed campsites.

Changes in Boating Regulations

April 8, 2020

With warmer weather, we usually expect an increase in boating activity on local lakes and rivers. In this week’s Great Outdoors, Brooke Snavely reminds us of changes in Oregon laws that affect all boaters, people-powered and motorized, for when we can get back on the water. For now, please stay home and save lives.
