Wildwood Recreation Site

Reviewed By rebeccacD7276EF - California, United States

The trails are covered and protected from the harsh summer sun, so that makes the hiking/trekking much easier. The entire trail is along the Salmon River and is just lovely and quaint. There are bathrooms and lots of picnic tables and water stations next to the tables. I wished we brought picnic food. Be sure to put on bug guards. Those mosquitos are hearless!

Camassia Natural Area

Reviewed By teachmerry

Camassia has evolved and gained accessibility over the past two decades to offer a distinct trailhead and orientation to the special meadows preserved here. At peak bloom, you can expect to see carpets of color of camas and rosy plectritis ranging throughout the oak savannah restored on this bluff above West Linn. At this time of year, Nature Conservancy volunteers populate the area to offer insights and answer questions about the flora and fauna found here. It’s a great short loop for families and fairly easy walking for those with independent mobility. Birders are likely to ID dozens of species in a single visit! Stay on trail to avoid misfortune with native poison oak.
