| Overview |
|
This series of loops begins and ends at the historic Camp Sherman Store and Fly Shop on the beautiful Metolius River. These loops vary in difficulty from a short family-friendly ride to an extensive 20+/- mile loop. With a few moderate exceptions, most of the riding is flat or rolling and perfect for a family-friendly ride.
All loops along this route are paved roads maintained by the Forest Service. Shoulders are typically narrow and traffic and speeds are moderate on most stretches. Several stopping points along the routes offer potable water and restrooms.
Cyclists will enjoy beautiful views at the Metolius Fish Overlook, both placid and breathtaking glimpses of the river, peek-a-boo views of Mt. Jefferson, and find great educational stopping points for picnics and hikes at the Headwaters, the Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery, and a variety of historical sites.
These routes follow a beautiful stretch of the Metolius River which reflects dynamic changes of the seasons as they progress; you will enjoy amazing greens of all hues in the spring and summer followed by stunning reds, yellows and oranges throughout the fall.
