The Lower Crooked National Wild & Scenic River is a extremely high quality River Canyon Wonderland Zone consisting of 9 Developed Campgrounds, 2 Day Use Areas, 1 Dam, 1 Dedicated Boat Ramp, and 1 World Class Hiking Trail called "Chimney Rock" that ascends to a truly spectacular geological formation. This area is operated by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and is in the SW Quadrant of the greater Prineville area to the West of the Prineville Reservoir State Park.

Crooked River is divided into 3 National Wild & Scenic River Designated Smaller Sections - THIS ONE is the greater "Chimney Rock" Segment, named for the geological formation. Chimney Rock is also the name of the Trail, as well as the name of the Campground adjacent to the Trailhead.....clearly Chimney Rock has left its impression and mark on the nomenclature of this high desert wonderland river canyon area. To be clear, THIS ENTIRE SECTION of 9 Developed Campgrounds, 2 Day Use Areas, 1 Dam, 1 Dedicated Boat Ramp, and 1 World Class Hiking Trail is called the "Chimney Rock" Segment of Lower Crooked National Wild & Scenic River.
