The Redwood Nature Trail at Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest in Brookings, Oregon is an easy 1-mile loop trail that features massive ancient Redwood trees and a waterfall.
The hike begins by climbing through a lush forest of Douglas-fir and huckleberry bushes, with moss hanging from the trees and a creek cascading downhill alongside the trail. The trail then begins the loop and eventually reaches a ravine with a creek flowing below - this is the most scenic part of the hike with massive Redwood trees towering overhead and the sound of the rushing creek.
The trail then passes another ravine to a grove of darker Redwoods and a few old-growth trees. The loop finally ends near the waterfall by the creek at the beginning of the hike.
Pets: Dogs are allowed if leashed and their waste must be carried out by the hiker.
Other hikes: While in the area, check out the Riverview Nature Trail at Alfred A. Loeb State Park - the northern trailhead can be found across the street from this trail and adds an additional 1.5-miles to your day hike.
MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
