Elgin is located in the northeast corner of the state of Oregon, and at the base of the Blue Mountains. We are also situated on the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway. The area is known for its quality steelhead and rainbow trout fishing. The Elgin area has plenty of deer, elk and wild turkey hunting. Hunting seasons run from late August to early December depending on the type of game sought. Winter sports include alpine and cross-country skiing, groomed snowmobile trails, and dog sled races. The Elgin Opera House is also a big favorite of history buffs. The Opera House was built in 1912 and continues to be a single screen movie theater and stage for local music and theater productions.
