While a world famous mountain biking trail, McKenzie River Trail is also popular with hikers. For both types of sport, this trail is breathtaking while it follows McKenzie River through a Douglas Fir forest and also meanders through an ancient lava field. The trail leads to the pristine waters of Tamolitch Lake, also called Blue Pool. To get to the trailhead, take McKenzie Hwy 126 14 miles east of McKenzie Bridge. Turn at the Trailbridge Campground sign, and immediately turn right onto a gravel road after crossing the bridge. After about a third of a mile park at the signs for the trail crossing. Use respect for others as mountain bikers and hikers share this trail equally.
