Ponderosa pines stand well spaced around Knebal Springs, a campground and day-use area in the Barlow Ranger District. Right next door is Knebal Springs Trail, a 10-mile loop that mountain bikers and horseback riders favor. Others come simply to picnic, look at the plants and take in the scenery.
From Dufur, head west on Forest Road 44 for about 16 miles, go 4.5 miles north on Forest Road 4430, then less than a mile southwest on Forest Road 1720. The site has a single vault toilet and no drinking water, so carry plenty for the day.
