This majestic 850 acre property is situated at the gateway to the

Illinois River Canyon. At one time a ranch and former playground

of John Wayne, the property is now used to facilitate research

teams, conferences and retreats, and is the year round home of the

Siskiyou Field Institute.

Nestled in the Klamath-Siskiyou Mountains where hiking trails, rivers and streams are abundant, the Deer Creek Center is a short drive away from the Oregon Caves National Monument, Kalmiopsis Wilderness, majestic redwoods and ocean beaches.
