1. Deschutes River Trail

5.0 based on 58 reviews
A popular 10.5-mile mountain biking trail in Oregon's Deschutes National Forest.
Reviewed By CrankingChick - Tucson, United States
We stayed at a hotel adjacent to the trail and went out for a peaceful walk at sunset. The paved trail follows along the banks of the Deschutes River, so the scenery is great. It's suitable for wheelchairs and strollers and passes through Riverbend Park and Farewell Bend Park where there is a playground and some picnic shelters. We easily walked about 2 miles, crossing bridges over the river to go down both sides. There were a lot of people out walking or jogging and we saw people fishing, kayaking and paddle-boarding on the river. Waterfowl were abundant and didn't seem bothered by the company. The Mill District shopping area is right next to the trail; it would make a fun date night to have dinner at one of the restaurants there and then take a walk along the river.

Great hiking trail for all skill levels. Families would do well on this trail. I loved that the trail is close to the river, wide, and very little poison oak or mosquitos. Be sure allow lots of time and take a camera. My suggestion would be to go during a weekday if possible. The trail can get pretty busy during the weekends. A September hiking area after summer campers have left would be idea. If you don't mind crowds then combine your hike with a camping experience.

My son and I went for a 14 mile hike up to the lowest viewpoint of Mt Hood, Reed Glacier, Sandy River's watefalls, from meadows on Yocum Ridge. Along the way there we meandered through the moss ladden trees amongst mushrooms and lichen to Ramona Falls with its mossy rocks and rainbows where sun peers through the shady trees.

We started at Three Creeks Trail and went counter clockwise on the Broken Top Loop trail, so I suppose we only came down Tam McArthur Rim Trail as opposed to doing it as an out-and-back, but it was a nice walk and I wouldn't say too difficult. There is some scree hiking--if you choose the west side--(the other side was more of a hard-packed trail), but even then it was okay. The views along the way are nice, but the views from the top are stunning; definitely try to make it to the top if you can! You can park at Three Creeks Lake and easily find the trailhead, and from there, the path is easy to follow (minus the one section where you have a choice to take, mentioned above). It's worth it as well to check out No Name Lake, which you'll see from the top if you make it that far. This trail is fairly exposed, so be sure to wear sunscreen and a hat. Not buggy at all in mid-August. It's a beautiful place to hike.
6. Natural Bridge Loop

A two-mile hiking path along the Rogue River in Southern Oregon.
Reviewed By csarchibald - San Marcos, United States
A short hike from the parking lot takes you to view an incredible natural phenomenon, where the Rogue River drops into a Lava Tube and pops up about 20 yards down stream. This creates an area where you someone could walk across a "Natural Bridge" (actually fenced off so you can't actually walk on it).
7. Mirror Lake Trail

Located on the Mount Hood's north side.
Reviewed By WaitForIttttt - Hazlet, United States
My husband and I hiked the Mirror Lake Trail on a trip exploring the west coast. We had hoped to continue on to Tom, Dick, and Harry Mountain but the visibility was poor so we decided to only hike the lake. There were other hikers but it wasn't overly crowded. We were mostly alone on the trail and were able to find a quiet spot to sit by the lake and take it in for a while. This trail is relatively easy and provides lots of beautiful forest views of all of the greens the Pacific Northwest has to offer. We enjoyed hiking through the grasses along the wooden planks. We would have loved to have seen Mt. Hood but it was lost in the clouds/fog that day, though the lake was crystal clear and it was nice to see the trees reflected in it. We were able to see the bottom where crawfish were moving around. Our only complaint about the hike was that the restroom at the trailhead was absolutely disgusting. The restroom at Government Camp a few miles up US 26 had plumbing and was perfectly fine. We'll definitely be returning in hopes of seeing Mt. Hood next time we're in the area.

A five-mile round-trip hiking trail that culminates with dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean.

This is a very fun hike and is very easy until the last maybe half mile. Gorgeous views!! I actually wondered if I was going to finish but I just slowed down and kept going. It was totally worth it!

I love Mount Pisgah; it is my favourite place to hike and I am never disappointed with the scenery and varied assorted and beautiful flora and fauna found on the trails. You can see my hometown of Creswell from the peak!
