Trip Report

Ferguson Creek / Long Tom River estuary was our trailhead. We started walking north, enjoying the pleasant weather and the view of the white tail deer, but after only 1.1 miles we had to turn back because the trail turned into an impassable jungle.
After returning to our trailhead, we collectively accepted Marguerite’s suggestion to drive south to the Fern Ridge Reservoir and there hike well-known loop.
We drove to Orchard Point Marina on the north side of Fern Ridge Reservoir, then hiked the Fern Ridge Dam trail to Richardson Park and back, ending today’s total of 6.4 miles.
