Description:

This is a beautiful hike along the Middle Fork Willamette River. There is very little elevation gain. Most of the hike is in the forest and it should be cool enough to dress lightly. Take snacks as we will rest at Clearwater Park and then retrace our path back to where we started. Bring plenty of water. Restrooms and water at Clearwater and Dorris Ranch parking lots. Approximately three hours. Meet at Dorris Ranch, Springfield, upper-level parking lot behind the bathrooms.
Optional lunch at Plank Town.
