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.
Just road the loop at Diamond lake and trees have been removed. Path is still damaged where one trees roots lifted up the asphalt but still passable. Trail is littered in pine needles but still safe to ride with your kids. A definite 5 star review once the cleanup is finished.
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.
We tried this trail but snow and trees still blocked the path. Hopefully, we’ll come back another day.
It’s not the most pretty trail at first but it really grows on you after so long it’s a great one ish mile if you’re nearby
Pathways. Sunriver pathways 15mph maximum and are for pedestrians and non-motorized use only. Skateboards, hoverboards, rollerblades and throttle-controlled e-bikes are prohibited. This is a paragraph I found when I was looking over the rules.
Like previously mentioned, we started at the Sunriver trailhead. This put the steepest grade the last 2 miles up to Lava Butte. We also then rode the Benham Falls trail and some paths in Sunriver for a total of almost 20 miles. Despite other reviewers remarks and a sign at Sunriver trailhead we past several ebikers….all apparently originating from Sunriver (as we saw some of the later in Sunriver)
It would be 5 stars for a semi urban trail that continues out along the rather busy Century Drive except for the initial road crossings. It is all smooth pavement suitable for many uses including skating. A nice 10 mile out and back.
This is a smooth paved trail mostly flat great for skating or roller skiing. Lots of fun and usually not too crowded. The canyon walls are interesting but nothing incredible.
These are my favorite trails. The first place my parents ever let us explore without them because of the amount of separate-from-vehicle trails. Trails run through tunnels under roads so it’s very easy to safely get wherever you want to go in Sunriver.
We were visiting the area and decided to check out the Dry Canyon Trail.
Rather than drive to a trailhead, we cycled the approximate 2.5 miles from the Expo RV Park where we were staying to the Quartz Avenue trailhead. The campground host recommended getting to the trailhead by taking Yew Avenue to Canal Road to Quartz Avenue. Canal Road has a bike lane. It was a good choice.
Although a short ride, we were impressed with the trail. It was a wide paved trail and in excellent condition. This flat trail and all its parks, sport fields,and disc golf along the way is an excellent example of what a city can do to provide outdoor facilities to its residents (and visitors)…not to mention the geological features along the trail. I would highly recommend this trail for those looking for a quick ride.
