Chandler State Wayside is a day-use park that runs along both sides of U.S. Route 395, approximately 16 miles (26 km) north of Lakeview, Oregon.

The public park area is located on the west side of the highway in a grove of large ponderosa pine.

These were the first large pine trees that travelers encountered when approaching the area from high desert county to the north and east.

In the mid-1920s, the state highway department offered to buy the pine-covered property along the creek for use as a roadside park.

As part of this project, the State of Oregon purchased additional land to expand the park and ensure convenient access from the highway.

In the summer, common birds include mountain chickadees, pygmy nuthatches, brown creepers, Bullock's orioles, black-headed grosbeaks, and western tanagers.

[2][8] Some of the mammals common to the area include mule deer, coyotes, American black bear, and bobcats.

Smaller mammals include white-tailed jackrabbits, golden-mantled ground squirrel, least chipmunks, and deer mice.
