Chandler Wayside State Park

Take a break from open road and pull into this uncharacteristically wooded area. Have a spot of lunch alongside a cool steam or rest in the shade of large ponderosa pine. The park has picnic tables, drinking water, flush toilets, and access to crooked creek. There is no fee to use this park. The restrooms are closed in late fall, winter, and early spring.

		Chandler Family: Solomon Brazalial Chandler, better known as S. B. Chandler. S. B. Chandler was one of the earliest settlers in Crooked Creek Valley and one of the original group of men who met together to establish the Town of Lakeview. S. B. became a large landowner during the prime of his life and owned a substantial amount of sheep and also cattle. In July of 1929 S. B. and his wife Hattie, donated land to the Oregon State Highway Department for the use of a park. The site was named in honor of S. B. and his beloved wife.
		Crooked Creek: This stream drains Antelope Valley north of Lakeview and flows north into Lake Abert. The correct name is Crooked Creek and not Crook Creek. There is a story to the effect that it was named for George Crook, but such is not the case. It owes its name entirely to its physical characteristics.
