Frequently Asked Questions

  • Troy sits at the confluence of the Grande Ronde and Wenaha Rivers in a remote canyon in Wallowa County, in the far northeast corner of Oregon near the Washington border. There's no direct highway. You'll wind through small towns and forested backroads to reach it.

    From Enterprise, OR (the nearest larger town): head north on Highway 3 toward Lewiston. The paved highway passes through rolling grasslands before entering forest around 14 miles north of Enterprise, and it's worth stopping at the Joseph Canyon Viewpoint around mile 29.5. Turn at Flora Junction (about mile 33), continue through the small town of Flora, and follow signs toward Troy — the road eventually turns to the Redmond Grade. This gravel road descends nearly 2,700 feet through a series of tight switchbacks into the Grande Ronde Canyon. Take the elevation drop slowly; it's a dramatic descent, not a casual one. A slightly longer, paved route is to take Highway 3 north all the way to Boggan’s Oasis, and turn left on Grande Ronde road along the river until you get to Troy.

  • Troy offers great fishing year-round, as long as you’re willing to adapt! Steelhead fishing is best in October and November on the Grande Ronde, and dry fly trout fishing is best in June on both the Grande Ronde and the Wenaha rivers. Each time of year is slightly different based on water level, weather, and fish patterns. We show the fishing conditions of each season in Troy here.

  • Troy is teeming with game animals, birds of prey, river animals, a variety of plant species, and of course, fish. We often see Rocky Mountain elk, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, bald eagles, golden eagles, ospreys, great blue herons, American white pelicans, North American river otters, American beavers, and American black bears. You’ll likely see some of these animals if you go on a float with us.

  • As of August 2026, the Troy Store (Troy Inn, Shilo Inn) is closed and the whole property is for sale. Hopefully it will be back up and running soon!

  • Plan for little to no reliable cell service once you're down in the canyon — this is a remote, low-population area and coverage varies significantly by carrier even in the surrounding towns. Don't rely on your phone for navigation once you leave Enterprise. We recommend downloading offline maps ahead of time, and letting us know your plans before you head down.
