Confirmed from Ridgeline Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Kid-friendly area for hiking in a forest setting.
What runners say about Ridgeline Trail
“A very quiet, beautiful, and well-maintained trail, with easy access from many points!”
“Peaceful place to take the dogs on a walk and get some great exercise”
Great little hike. Small parking lot. About 6 parking spots. Don't let the powerlines fool you, once you get pass that it is very pretty. Easy for kids. There are stairs right before you reach the top. Great for an afternoon hike as well.
Hike, Bike or take your time and see nature in Oregon with an inspiring view. The destination is epic at the top 360° view. The journey is beginner medium steep in places if you're biking make sure and bring plenty of water sunscreen and bug repellent. A word of caution bees nest in these Oregon Forest.
A very quiet, beautiful, and well-maintained trail, with easy access from many points! It has a couple of different trails that fork off of one another so you have plenty of options!
Great trail that winds south of Eugene, and connects to many others. Fox hollow, Spencers butte, Mt bigby. Navigation will take you to the bigby trailhead, where you can go up, take old Dillard, or head to Spencers.
