Description:
Meeting place: The Weyerhauser McKenzie Natural Area parking lot, at the corner of 42nd and Marcola Rd., in Springfield.
Vickery Park is a mostly undeveloped Lane County Park east of Springfield off of Camp Creek Road. It is a lush, forested butte that rises above Camp Creek and the McKenzie River. We will hike up a trail to the summit, stopping frequently to enjoy the varied wildflowers and birdsong, and to read the brass dedication plaque. We may make an additional short loop on a narrow footpath that is sometimes rocky and briefly steep to a spot with a nice view, and another short detour on an overgrown jeep road to get one more view of the river. Please wear long pants and a long-sleeved shirt as the vegetation can be close to the trail and includes poison oak. Poles may be helpful for spots of moderately difficult footing on the loop. Allow about 3 hours for the trip.
