Government Camp is located in Clackamas County, east of Portland
along US Highway 26, between Welches and the Hwy 35/US Hwy 26
junction. In October of 1849, the Oregon Militia, part of the US
Army and the first official US military presence in Oregon, used the
Barlow Road to get to Fort Vancouver in what is now Washington
state. The Militia was caught in a storm crossing Mount Hood and
several wagons had to be abandoned here before starting down Laurel
Hill. Emigrants crossing the Barlow Road the following season camped
at this site, naming it Government Camp for the government wagons
they found here. Government Camp is the gateway to several nearby
Oregon Trail sites and short hiking trails within the Mount Hood
National Forest. An enclosed kiosk includes exhibits on the Oregon
Trail and Barlow Road. Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR)
markers honoring Sam and Susannah Barlow stand nearby.
Mt. Hood National Forest
The Mt. Hood National Forest- Located twenty miles east of the city
of Portland, Oregon, and the northern Willamette River valley, the
Mt. Hood National Forest extends south from the strikingly beautiful
Columbia River Gorge across more than sixty miles of forested
mountains, lakes and streams to Olallie Scenic Area, a high lake
basin under the slopes of Mt. Jefferson. The Forest encompasses some
1,067,043 acres.
