Oregon Route 82 near Alicel

Oregon Route 82 (OR 82) is a 70.74-mile-long (113.84 km) state highway in the northeastern part of the U.S. state of Oregon. It travels from U.S. Route 30 (US 30) at La Grande to an intersection with Oregon Routes 350 and 351 in Joseph. It is known as the Wallowa Lake Highway No. 10 (see Oregon highways and routes). OR 82 is part of the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway.^[2]

OR 82 is the main route from remote Wallowa County to La Grande which serves a transportation hub, providing access to main roads such as Interstate 84 (I-84) and US 30. It also sees extra tourist traffic in the summer, which mostly consists of travelers to Wallowa Lake, which is south of Joseph.

It heads east underneath Interstate 84 into Island City, where it turns north at an intersection with OR 237, which continues east to Cove.
