Enterprise

Wide-open grassy meadows surround the town of Enterprise, with pine forests to the north and the Wallowa Mountains to the south.

A historic lodge, cabins, camping and a tramway to the top of the mountain lie at the south end of Wallowa Lake. To the east is one of the earth’s deepest gorges, Hells Canyon. The Hells Canyon National Recreation Area offers excellent opportunities for hiking, camping, horseback riding and truly getting away from it all. Enterprise and the surrounding area are also a hub of Western bronze art, with three bronze foundries and many artists calling the area home.
