We were excited to camp along this trail and start riding right from our campsite. It is a bit narrow in some spots and hard to see some of the painted directional arrows especially at the north end where the resort is but we found our way. I would recommend riding clockwise as it is more downhill, especially if you are on a standard bike like we were. Great scenery along the whole loop: views of lake, meadows, woods, and Mount Thielsen. Surface was mostly smooth and better than many other paved trails we have tried. The whole trail was cleared for our ride but be aware that a tree could come down at any time.
A must for bikers in Oregon. We rode this trail several days while enjoying Ashland. No issues or problems just a nice ride. The only negative is a mile or two is adjacent to I-5 so a little noisy.
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.
I rode this trail on 6/11/2025 with my family of four (kids 7 and 10) after spending the night at the Diamond Lake Resort Motel. This trail looked like it would be worth the detour on our family road trip, but apparently we got there too early in the season. There were literally HUNDREDS of trees down across the trail, including large sections of trail destroyed as root structures took the asphalt with it when trees came down. Is that normal every season or was 24/25 a particularly stormy Winter?
We started at the Diamond Lake Resort and rode counter clockwise. After 3.7 miles, we counted 35 times we had to stop and lift bikes over logs ranging from enormous to small-ish. We finally hit a cluster of trees across the trail so huge, we finally gave up and rode on the street, which was clear and lightly trafficked. Several times we attempted to rejoin the trail where it crossed the roadway, but along the southwest side of the lake we encountered huge snow drifts that hadn't melted yet. Keep in mind it was shorts and tank top weather, so the snow surprised us. Sadly, the tree situation never improved, except for the sections of the route that passed through the campgrounds.
Also, the mosquito swarms were the most intense I've experienced outside Alaska. We could not stop riding without getting utterly wrecked, and this was in the middle of the day with a comfortable breeze blowing.; they were large and hungry. This trail has wonderful potential and the area is very beautiful, but call the Umpqua National Forest Ranger Station first and get updates before you commit to this one. This trail should not have even been open until crews had completed clearing it. There was no signage informing of the conditions and that would've made all the difference. The Nat'l Forest really dropped the ball by not having the trail cleared this late in the year and by not having any warning signs of the conditions ahead.
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.
Most of this ride is quite pleasant, but there are several parts adjacent to roads that diminish its quality. Additionally, the path just stops in the middle of nowhere.
We tried this trail but snow and trees still blocked the path. Hopefully, we’ll come back another day.
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.
