MOUNTAIN BIKING: North Shore Trail

← OR MIDDLE FORK WILLAMETTE RIVER JASPER Single Tracks →

Description

This is an out and back that follows the shore and the road. There are several outs from this if you want to turn back and ride the road. The trail is a nice tacky trail that winds thru old growth trees. Some small steep climbs, but very easy. Several creeks filter down to the reservoir and some will need to be stepped across. There is one point a bit after the picnic tables that seems like the end. Just turn around and there is a trail up to the road. Ride down the road for maybe a 1/4 of a mile and the trail starts up again on the left. The trailheads are marked by a sign with hikers on them. Some downed trees throughout which have built in ride overs. The trails out ends at another boat ramp. Be advised the PCT is near the ramp which is a non-bike trail. Turn around and ride back.

Directions

From Eugene go East on 58 for about 20 miles. Make a left at the covered bridge and continue to N. Shore Dr. Turn Right, this will become N. Boundry Rd. Continue till you come to the damn. There will be a parking lot with a bathroom by the boat ramp on your right. Trail head is on the left side, marked with a Hikers sign.
