We stayed at the Southern Oregon RV Park (nice) and the north end of the trail starts at the front of the RV Park. Good ride-saw ducks playing in a small waterfall/beautiful artwork on the bridge columns and underpasses/ quite a few feral cats-someone had set up a feeding station for them/several beautiful parks/food vendor market at one of the parks/several homeless (no encampments) and loiterers (they did not bother). Saw police presence on the trail-Police truck slowly driving on the trail and several clean up crews working on the trail. We rode two days in a row.
Although it is a suggested location, please be advised that it is not secure. We were cautioned against locking our doors, and when I inquired about the reason, he stated that I should not have to explain it further. He then suggested a more conspicuous parking area. Consequently, we departed and parked in the adjacent town.
We took a long ride from Central Point to Ashland for lunch and then back. Well paced, well marked, and only a couple of urban sections.
What is it with the paved paths from Dairy to Klamath falls. Every five feet a space in the pavement you can't get up any speed you have to slow down for the next break. It's like they laied it all down in sections. The same for the paths in town.
We rode recumbents from the Day Use lot in the Valley of the Rogue State Park. It was well maintained, but the trucks are alarming at times. The trail ends before Gold Hill, but you can follow 99 through the village. Then follow signs towards the falls. The trail begins again beside the railroad tracks and goes up to the falls. The Del Rio Winery is on the trail and is accessible by bike Ti’lmathFalls
We rode recumbents from Blue Heron Park to end of trail in Ashland. The trail ended at sewage and dog park! It is a nice easy ride. Crossed over one road. No homeless issues in this part of ride. A lunch at Clyde’s Corner Restaurant right on the path was fun.
TRAIL NEEDS TO BE DRAGED USING 3 OLD TIRES, CHAINED TOGETHER INA "V" SHAPE, TOWED BEHIND A QUAD OR TRUCK, THIS WILL SMOOTH OUT THE TRAIL, AND GET RID OF ALL THE THICK GRAVEL AREASDO THAT ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR,WOULD MAKE THE TRAI GREAT
I commute along this path all the time as an Ashland resident. The path is short and runs next to the railroad tracks through the Railroad district and up to Hunter Park, through the cemetery to Tolman Creek Rd. Unfortunately, the city of Ashland is not really in tune with taking care of its bike paths and bike lanes. The bike path, much like the Ashland bike lanes on the streets, is rarely swept--especially after they drop gravel in the winter. Also, the city recently used chip seal to resurface the path. Chip seal is inexpensive for the city, but it is a horrible surface for riding. That said, the view out to Grizzly Peak is a great view for a local commute.
We jumped on the trail near Ashland (stayed at the Lithia Springs Hotel). We rode the trail northwest to the town of Phoenix and back, with a short ride on the way back to the edge of Ashland. About 14 miles total. Small sections near the highway are noisy but most of the trail is through forested area next to a stream, even saw some deer. Very safe, well maintained and basically flat, so pretty easy. Highly recommend.
From Ashland or to central point or. approx. 18 miles. Hard surface, no gravel, no dirt. Partly shaded. Flat. Scenic, except last few miles, near Central Point. Homeless camped near path around Medford but no hassle. Rating should be
4 1/2 rather than 5, due to homeless.
We only made it 6 miles on the dirt. Very bumpy like an old dirt two track.
