Land Owner
A short trail that connects the Woodland Trail to the lower part of Timber Road, this fun out-and-back can add variety to your adventure as you explore close to the trailhead. Like the Woodland Trail, it has a compacted crushed rock surface that doesn’t get muddy in the rain .
Please be courteous and yield to pedestrians and ascending mountain bikers. Ride in control at all times, we're all outside, hoping to enjoy ourselves
Metro parks do not allow dogs because unfortunately our canine friends are perceived as predators; impacting wildlife behavior, nesting, and feeding patterns. Please leave your pooch at home when riding at Chehalem Ridge. Thank you!
