Hiking

The Umatilla National Forests provides hundreds of miles of trails for hikers, horse riders and backpackers. From the smooth, easy interpretive trails around Jubilee or Bull Prairie Lake to a more challenging trek into the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness, we offer opportunities for most experience levels.

Please remember that many of these trails are multiple-use. Non-motorized trails are limited to hikers and horses, with some trails open to mountain bikes. A few trails are open to both motorized and non-motorized users. Wilderness trails are closed to all types of motor vehicles and mechanical transport, including bicycles, wagons and carts. Guided hikes may also be available at some locations. Practicing Outdoor Ethics will ensure that everyone on the trail has an enjoyable experience.

Please practice Outdoor Safety and Leave No Trace to make your visit safe and enjoyable while protecting resources we all enjoy.

Many trails have some type of regulation, fee or seasonal restriction, so it's wise to find out more about the specific trail you wish to explore before showing up at the trailhead. Parking and comfort stations exist at some trailhead locations. Stop or call one of our District Offices for maps and specific information.
