Crowded trailheads. Packed campgrounds. Busy beaches, rivers and lakes. Oregon outdoor recreation areas saw a huge flood of visitors in 2020, many of whom were new to outdoor recreation.

(Don’t miss our previous episodes on Camping 101, Backpacking 101 and relieving yourself responsibly while in nature.)
