Hiking

The Oakridge / Westfir area is surrounded by the Willamette National Forest and has awe-inspiring hiking along rivers, around lakes, through forests and meadows, and to gushing waterfalls and scenic mountain vistas.

Enjoy easy flat paths beside the Willamette River or Salmon Creek or challenge yourself with steep climbs up Larison Rock or down to the foot of Salt Creek Falls. Along the trails spot wildlife, birds and wildflowers. Many trails are shared use, so watch for mountain bikers too!

Favorite hikes include the interpretive trail at the Willamette Fish Hatchery (easy), Buckhead Nature Trail (wheelchair accessible), Salmon Creek Trail (moderate) and the Deception Creek Trail (advanced). Touch the Pacific Crest Trail as it meanders through the Diamond Peak Wilderness Area. Visit the Middle Fork Ranger District office for maps and updates.
