From the parking lot at the park in Cottage Grove to the "Stand By Me" covered bridge to Dorena Lake, this path is fantastic! Gentle uphill to Dorena Lake through the woods and wonderful views of the lake. 17-mile one-way of great riding!
The trail had none of the issues the last reviewer stated from 2016. The ride around the park had a nice wide paved trail with no weeds, grass, etc. The city maintenance crew was out mowing and crawling brush/weeds. This part of the trail was just flat and boring. The views were of golfers and people enjoying the park. I didn’t like the fact many people allowed their dogs to run free regardless of the fact all dogs were to remain on a leash. My wife and I also took the connecting trail to downtown along the river. We DO NOT recommend doing this section. In the short one mile section there were over a dozen homeless camps, dogs running free and the smell of trash everywhere. At one point we had two dogs charge at us. Sad the city hasn’t done something about all this as the trail has lots of potential to be a beautiful trail.
There are many places where a bike tire could go right into a crack in the pavement, causing severe injuries. It would be wonderful if Rails to Trails could put some pressure on BLM to fix — rather than just mark — the many places in which repair is really needed.
This is one of the most beautiful bike trails around. It is a shame that the paved surface is in such terrible condition.
Was about a 7 mile ride round trip from Mosby creek trailhead to Dorena lake and back . It is completely paved but there were areas where a horse can comfortably walk on the grass next to the trail . Yummy apple trees adorn the trail side to compete with you for your horses attention . Rode down to the water carefully avoiding the wet spots (slippery mud) . Let the horses drink a bit from the rocky dry part . It was pretty neat to see the huge dam and lake . Only one boat was out becuase it was freakin hot and Smokey - but still beautiful . One of those trails that u wouldn’t necessarily seek out unless u live near it - but if u have to go to the neighborhood for some reason might as well saddle up ! There are a lot of bikes and most just zip by - with no understanding to be cautious of the horses . But that’s ok . It works !
Enjoyed this trail from beginning to end. Well maintained with beautiful views of wooded hillsides, covered bridges, old barns, river, flowers, farmland, and the lake. Stayed in Schwarz Park campground about MP 6 of the trail. Accessed the trail about 1/2 mile from campground. First day rode from camp to top end of trail around the lake and up through the farmlands. Second day from camp to town for coffee and baked goodies at the brewery. Afternoons spent exploring the wineries. Very much enjoyed this trail.
Beautiful shady trail lined with wildflowers. Nice flat trail with lots of pretty scenery.
This trail is smooth pavement with a very gentle grade. Beautiful views and country all along the way.
This trail is well maintained and well marked. Definitely one of the better rail-trails in the Pacific Northwest and well worth the stop. Any kind of bike will work on this trail. One can only hope that it will be lengthened in the future.
Trail very scenic in sections not far from Cottage Grovre,, but narrows to to 8’ around 8 miles out. There are also gravel sections along the last 10 miles, and trail is closed in some areas.. many road crossings
My husband and I rode this trail recently from Cottage Grove to about the 7 mile marker, but at that point the trail was closed due to a very large sink hole further on. We could have gone on the road for approximately 2 miles and then returned to the trail, but chose not to do so because the road is used by logging trucks. This was disappointing because the trail is beautiful and in very well maintained.
We cycled a portion of this trail. We parked at a small trailhead around MM7 on Row River Road which had room for about six cars. If you look at a trail map, I believe the trailhead was called Row Point although there was no sign at the trailhead. Some sections of the trail had quite a few root heaves especially at the start of our ride. However, the damage was marked with yellow paint and did not cause any problems.
On this section of the trail, you cycle in and out of shade and have great views of Dorena Lake. The trail is very flat and is a good one for families. Along the way, there is a vault toilet at Harms Park trailhead and at the end of the trail at Culp Creek. There are a few picnic tables and benches along the trail near the lake.
The trail ends abruptly at Culp Creek where we turned around and headed back to the car. I would highly recommend this very scenic portion of the trail.
