The
City of Long Creek, with 220
friendly residents, is nestled in the Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon.
Conveniently situated on Highway 395, the town lies 40 miles north of
John Day and 90 miles south of Pendleton. A picturesque, rural
community, it offers a wide range of year-round recreational
opportunities. With an elevation of 3,750 feet, winter brings snowfall
and average temperatures around 30 degrees. Summers are mild and dry,
with temperatures rarely above 90 degrees.
Ranching,
logging and resource
based industries drive the local economy, but the area is attractive to
home-based enterprises, small businesses and retirees. There is an
active K-12 school, 2 churches, a post office, a committed volunteer
fire department and dedicated EMT ambulance
crew.
The
Long Creek Lodge (longcreeklodge@hotmail.com), the
North Fork John Day Watershed Council (info@nfjdwc.org) and the Rafter
BS Store & Café are all located downtown, as is the
Long
Creek City Hall.
