Peter Skene Ogden State Scenic Viewpoint is an Oregon state park and roadside stop on the Crooked River north of Redmond, overlooking a dramatic canyon and three prominent bridges that have made it popular with photographers. Named for fur trader Peter Skene Ogden, who entered the Crooked River Valley in 1825 with a Hudson’s Bay Company trapping party, it reflects the early fur-trade era in the interior Northwest. The site also includes a memorial to World War II flying ace Rex T. Barber. It is further linked to a notorious Oregon murder case involving Jeannace June Freeman, who received the state’s first death sentence for a woman but was not executed.
