The City of La Grande
Visitors will find the city of La Grande a home away from home and feel like a local with every stay. Our small town offers big opportunities for great food, historic homes, and beautiful scenery.
The Landing is located downtown within walking distance of the beautiful Eastern Oregon University campus, host to sporting events and performing arts year-round. Shop small at some of our downtown’s classy boutiques and stores; Blue Mountain Outfitters, Fitzgerald Flowers, and Bella Mercantile are a few of our favorites. Grab a coffee at The Local, La Grande’s newest coffee hotspot. Afterwards, select some fresh local produce while enjoying some of our town’s best musicians at our seasonal Farmers Market. Rent a bike at Mountain Works and ride to Riverside Park (located on the Grande Ronde River) for a picnic among beautiful trees, or ride through our neighborhoods and enjoy the historic homes.
If nature is your destination, take a picnic out to Morgan Lake for the afternoon, just a 10-minute drive from The Landing. For an all-day adventure, explore the trails through the Mount Emily Recreation Area, where the locals go year-round for hiking, trail running, mountain biking, snowshoeing and more.
After a full day of exploring all our town has to offer, return to The Landing for a relaxing evening in our intimate dining room or peaceful front porch. Sit back with appetizers and a glass of wine, then make sure to walk across the street to The Local for some hand-crafted ice cream.
The Grande Ronde Valley
If you plan to explore beyond the city of La Grande, your outdoor experiences are endless in the Grande Ronde Valley. Rock climbing, cycling, hiking, and rafting are all available right in our beautiful area. Surrounded by mountains, the scenery is guaranteed to be stunning no matter where your adventure takes you.
Our valley is host to a multitude of unique eastern Oregon adventures. Come experience our rock climbing or morel mushroom hunting in the spring. Visit a cherry orchard or farm stand while enjoying a fabulous mountain sunset. Take a raft or kayak down the Grande Ronde River in the summer, or spend your afternoon in the endless huckleberry bushes just a short drive up the mountain.
