Around the Hotel

The beauty of the Oregon Trail Inn’s location is that it turns Lakeview into a walkable town. You are directly across the street (or a very short walk) from Safeway, the main grocery store in the county, making it easy to stock up on supplies for a day trip to the desert.

For dining, you are just a block or two away from local staples. The Burger Queen is a classic drive-in style spot nearby that is famous among locals. If you want a sit-down meal, Jerry's Restaurant is also within a 5-minute walk, serving standard American diner fare.

Culturally, the Schminck Memorial Museum is only about a five-minute walk from here. It houses an interesting collection of pioneer history in this area and shares a building with the Lake County Chamber of Commerce-where you can pick up any maps you might need for rockhounding or birdwatching.
