Oregon Parks and Recreation Rangers
We love our Oregon Parks and Recreation Rangers!
We wouldn't have enough room here to list all the important jobs the Sumpter Valley Dredge State Heritage Area Rangers perform on a daily basis! But we can assure you that this State Park does keep our Rangers quite busy! The most important tasks the Rangers perform are quite visible to visitors such as: Dredge tours, park maintenance, which includes nearly 2 miles of park trails, overseeing ambitious park improvement projects and of course, maintaining the historic dredge itself. In addition to these tasks, Rangers conduct tours through the dredge and the surrounding park for visitors as well as numerous school groups. Fortunately, our busy rangers are aided in their duties by State Park Volunteer Hosts who live on State grounds throughout the summer season and perform various task which include filling in at our interpretive store and visitors center. The Park Host also conducts daily tours which are very popular with our visitors, opens and closes the park each day and also performs general maintenance chores throughout the park. Our Park Hosts can often be seen anywhere in the park speaking with visitors. There are usually two sets of volunteer hosts each season. See our Rangers in action: OPRD Rangers
