Jubilee Lake offers an array of outdoor recreational activities and is accessible from numerous locations. There are several day use areas as well as a campground (fee required). With boating and fishing access, hiking trails, and basic amenities such as toilets, potable water, and picnic areas, this is a frequented area in the national forest.

From early spring to late fall, climbing at Spring Mountain is in full force. The trail to the crag is short and easy to follow, and there are multiple routes ascending the 100 foot cliffs. Both sport and traditional climbing are offered at the crag, and a visit to the foot of the cliffs is worthwhile even if you aren't a climber, yourself.

Grouse Mountain is one of the easier summits to climb in the Blue Mountains. Almost the entire trail overlooks the North Fork Umatilla Wilderness, and the ridgeline at the top offers completely unobstructed views to the southeast. The best times of year to visit are late spring through early fall.

The Walla Walla River headwaters are found in the Blue Mountains, and the river flows all the way to the Columbia River. This section of river is accessible via several forest trails, but the bridge is currently out. If you want to gain access to the Walla Walla River Trail, you will need to find a safe place to wade across the river.

The south fork of the Walla Walla River varies in current and level depending on the season. There is a bridge at this point on the trail allowing for safe crossing. As you cross the bridge, you creep closer to the meadow located at the South Fork Walla Walla Trail junction, which is flooded with wildflowers in the spring and summer months.

Coyote Ridge offers an excellent overlook of the Umatilla River and the North Fork Umatilla Wilderness. If journeying down to the river, the trail loses elevation from here rapidly.

The entirety of the first four miles of Umatilla River Trail follow the banks of the Umatilla River. This offers excellent views of the canyon and water as the trails winds between the mountains. The further you travel up the canyon, the less trail users you are likely to encounter.

At 4,652 feet, Buck Mountain is an unassuming peak on the border of the North Fork Umatilla Wilderness. The summit of the mountain is just off of the main forest service road; the exposed peak offers views of the surrounding mountains and wilderness area.
