Confirmed from Timberhill Natural Area'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.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (27 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

“Beautiful and parts are truly natural and rugged, with a trail and then there parts very close that are all urbanized with street traffic noise from trucks/pickups.”

Great trails. Nice and wide, fairly natural, and varying terrain. Gets steep in areas, but the views are great reasons to stop.

★★★★★ — Sam , May 2022

Hiking and horse trails. View of all of Corvallis from the top. Great place to watch fireworks on the 4th of July.

★★★★★ — Pam , Oct 2017

Beautiful and parts are truly natural and rugged, with a trail and then there parts very close that are all urbanized with street traffic noise from trucks/pickups. Definitely worth the time and energy for a visit or two!

★★★★☆ — Robert , Oct 2018

Beautiful place to meander. Follow the rough trails through grass and trees. Muddy and rocky, but an easy hike. Lovely views. Dog friendly.

★★★★★ — Shar , Oct 2020

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
