Middle Fork National Recreation Trail #3609


Designated a National Recreation Trail in 2007, This beautiful, multi-use trail offers over 30 miles of adventure along the Middle Fork of the Willamette River. The trail starts near Timponogas Campground and finishes near Sand Prairie Campground. Multiple trailheads offer opportunities for shorter trips and several of the easily accessible riverside areas receive high use.

There are opportunities to view wildlife, flowers, waterfalls, and portions of the historic Oregon Central Military Wagon Road as you travel through forests of mixed conifer, cottonwood, and big leaf maple - giving the visitor diverse views of changing ecosystems.

With a moderately strenuous grade and nearly 95% singletrack, the trail is popular with mountain bikers, but several sections of the trail are flat and can provide a scenic walk for even the youngest family member. Bring a fishing pole and a picnic and make it a day!
