WELCOME
Historic Oakley is located 15 miles from the City of Rocks National Reserve, three miles from the Oakley Dam (great fishing!) and four miles from a mineral hot spring. Oakley is famous for its Oakley stone which is quarried locally and shipped worldwide. It is also famous for its vast agricultural operations with "Idaho Potatoes" being the most famous crop. The mineral Hot Springs and wonderful fishing, camping, skiing and hunting, within an hours travel makes this a "town for all seasons."

CITY OF ROCKS
The City of Rocks National Reserve lies in Cassia County 15 miles southeast of Oakley and 4 miles west of Almo. Over time, weathering processes have created thousands of unique features on the many granite domes. Among the unique features are the Twin Sisters. Both Sisters rise some 62 stories. The westernmost Sister is estimated at 3 billion years old and is one of the oldest exposed formations in the world. One and one half miles south of the Twin Sisters is the junction of the California and Salt Lake-California connection trails which the pioneers used.

OAKLEY RESERVOIR
The Oakley Dam supplies all of the surface water to irrigate the agricultural land which lies immediately to the north. The reservoir provides a great place for fishing and boating. When the dam was constructed, between 1909 and 1912, it was the largest earth-filled dam in the world.
