The Donner und Blitzen River is a river on the eastern Oregon high desert that drains a relatively arid basin, the southern portion of Harney Basin, from roughly 20 to 80 miles (30 to 130 km) south-southeast of Burns including Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. Though much of its course is marsh, it offers scenic glaciated canyons, unique ecosystems, and exceptional wild trout fisheries. Named by soldiers of German origin, the Donner und Blitzen River translates as "thunder and lightning". The name usually brings to mind two of Santa Claus's reindeer, but the river is named for a thunderstorm the soldiers experienced as they crossed the river; dry lightning is an almost daily occurrence in the region during certain times of the year.

  • Der Donner und Blitzen River ist ein 97 km langer Zufluss des Malheur Lake im Harney County im Südosten des US-Bundesstaates Oregon. Der Flussname entstand 1864 durch deutschstämmige Soldaten, die den Fluss während eines Gewitters durchquerten. (de)
