There is very little development on Wallowa Lake. The majority of the East shore is not developed. There are cabins on the West shore, and in a recreational-zoned area at the South, South of the State Park. Chief Joseph's grave is at the Northeast corner of the lake, and yes, there was a small plat of homes that had been proposed for spot near the grave site. It appears that Oregon's new property rights law, Measure 37, may ultimately result in more developement. knowledgeplex.org Ironically, Measure 37 was an outgrowth of strict land use planning regulations in the Portland area that set up urban growth and rural areas and resulted in absurd results such as prohibiting a farmer from building a house on property he owns and on which he maintains a hazelnut orchard. archives.seattletimes.nwsource.com As with many things in life, there are unintended consequences that grow out of even the best intentions. Multnomah County's (Portland's) land use regulations had been hailed for quite some time as being a cutting edge way to contain growth. But Measure 37 is the result. I have not studied the issue sufficiently to form an opinion one way or the other on Measure 37. I understand there is a similar move afoot in the Seattle area to challenge restrictions imposed by King County's growth management regulations.
