McKenzie River National Recreation Trail

Reviewed By ShirleyG958 - Springfield, United States

Great hiking trail for all skill levels. Families would do well on this trail. I loved that the trail is close to the river, wide, and very little poison oak or mosquitos. Be sure allow lots of time and take a camera. My suggestion would be to go during a weekday if possible. The trail can get pretty busy during the weekends. A September hiking area after summer campers have left would be idea. If you don't mind crowds then combine your hike with a camping experience.

A wonderful place to run, walk briskly, or just saunter. Then there are also the bicyclists. The jogging path has just been upgraded. There is also a smooth pavement path for walking, cycling, jogging.... It's a great place to unwind and relax while you exercise. Lots of trees, parkland, and the ever present Amazon Creek.
