Hike

The Table Rock Wilderness is a small 'pocket' of wilderness near Molalla, Oregon. It is a high point in the deeply eroded basaltic landscape of the ancient (20 million year old) Western Cascade Range. It is surrounded by heavily logged and scarred BLM forest lands. A road nearly encircles the wilderness (with some areas impassable due to slides), giving easy access from the South via challenging trails, or the North via more moderate trails. The roads get you to about 1200 vertical feet and 4 miles of hiking of the summit.

This portion of the Springwater Corridor runs along the Willamette River and connects to the large segment of the Springwater Corridor heading east to Gresham. The trail passes through Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge, affording many opportunities to bird watch.
