Swamp Peak Trail #3401

Area Status: Temporarily Closed

At the start of this trail, you have two options. By heading west you skirt the talus slopes of Knob Rock before entering Middle Santiam Wilderness. This 3.2-mile route exposes you to a rich old-growth forest community with a steep decline before connecting with Chimney Peak Trail.

By traveling east you scramble 2.2 miles up and over Swamp Peak before intersecting with Gordan Peak Trail.

Ambitious hikers may want to make a 15.8 mile round trip using the Swamp Peak, Gordan Peak, and Chimney Peak trail loop.
