Saturday, December 23, 2023

Other Names

Ochoco National Forest, Beetle Spring, Whitetail Spring, Evans Creek, Dry Creek, Green Spring, Mckay Creek, Little Table Mountain, Big Table, Strickland Spring, Kidnap Spring, Lemon Creek

Last Known StatusOpen

This 8.5 mile long trail mainly consists of a mixture of clay and loamy soil and winds through a scenic ponderosa pine forest. The trail is rated as mostly easy but offers scenic views of grassy meadows and surrounding mountains.

Dispersed camping is permitted but Wildcat Campground is just a few miles away. The northern main access road (McKay Creek Road) is suitable for large trailers and RVs.

The trail is open year-round but may close temporarily due to heavy snowfall, wet soil conditions or during fire season. For current conditions check the trail hotline before heading out.
