Departure Place: Pisgah Public Market in Pleasant Hill – Take the Oakridge exit off of I-5. After 4 miles watch for the mall on your left after the 76 gas station. Park in the middle of the parking lot by the light pole.

This is a hike that parallels the Middle Fork of the Willamette River. There are sections along the river and some around marshes and a wide variety of deciduous trees. We will start at the group picnic area and hike to the Dexter Reservoir Dam. For those interested – the Hill Top Bar and Grill where we meet to park is a great after hike dinner place.

Trip Report

This was a new trail to most of the group. We started at the picnic area and headed north east toward the river and dam. The trail was well maintained and had great stretches along the river and through lush green canopy. Once we reached the dam we had to scout to find the trail up to the top of the dam. We took a break in the shade at the top of the dam. On the way back we explored several different loops. The fearless leader had to turn around twice due to spur choices that went nowhere. A perfect Friday afternoon hike.
