5.82 miles of hiking • 500' elevation gain •
I was pleasantly surprised by this trail. I hiked up and down river from the hatchery. Most of the leaves were turning brown and falling off, but still some color out there. On the drive out, I noticed that the western larches around Camp Sherman were turning golden. There were quite a few of them in that area, especially near the Lake Creek Trail. If I had more time, I would have enjoyed hiking the Lake Creek Trail and checking out the trails in the Metolius Preserve, which is owned by the Deschutes Land Trust.
