Washburne State Wayside is a state park 4 miles (6 km) northwest of Junction City, in the U.S. state of Oregon.[3] Administered by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, the wayside serves as a rest stop for travelers on Oregon Route 99W and interpretive center for the Applegate Trail.[4] The state bought the land for the park in 1926 from William C. and Mae E. Washburne.[2] It lies on the border between Lane and Benton counties.[4]
Amenities include picnic tables, a restroom, a nature trail, and interpretive signs about the Applegate Trail.[4] The day-use park, open year-round, is visited by about 131,000 people a year.[2] The nature trail leads into a forest of second-growth Douglas fir.[3]
