There are some side trails and the flat terrain is favored by locals out for an easy hike.
Combining Salmon Creek Tr4365 with nearby Aubrey Mountain Tr3554 and a section of the Eugene to Pacific Crest Tr3559 make the ride more interesting.
Eugene to Pacific Crest Tr3559 continues on to the epic Bunchgrass Rdg Tr3559 ride.
Directions: See Map. There is a TH on either side of the bridge, just prior to FR24 on Fish Hatchery Rd. The Fish Hatchery may also allow parking when not busy. View Larger Map. No Map?.
