DIRECTIONS TO THE ORCHARD
HOEC Community Orchard is located on the Clackamas Community College Campus in Oregon City. The orchard itself does not have a site specific address within the campus, so make sure to bookmark these directions:
Navigate to the CCC Campus at: 19600 Molalla Ave, Oregon City, OR 97045
Follow signs to: the Brown Parking lot, Inskeep Environmental Learning Center, or the Haggart Observatory. All located on Inskeep Road.
Once on Inskeep Road, you will pass the Environmental Learning Center, the Lewelling Building, & Haggart Observatory.
At the end of the road you will come to a large parking area and will see the gates to the orchard on your left. There is a big white sign on the front gates of the orchard. Come on in!
*If all else fails - you can also just navigate to 21 Inskeep Drive. This is the address for the Haggart Observatory, whose entrance we can see across the parking lot from the front gates of the orchard.
