The City of Canby has rehabilitated an old Weyerhaeuser road to make a nice trail down to the Willamette River. We will walk through a couple of wooded parks and along the paved trail between a golf course and the river, to an area where we'll see the remains of an old gantry and other structures used to unload logs. The trail is a pleasant out-and-back route. After the hike, we'll have lunch at the Backstop Bar and Grill in Canby. Bring an energy snack and water. Good walking shoes are recommended.
Trail conditions: Paved and dirt trail mix, about the last half-mile before we turn around is all downhill, and uphill on the return. Otherwise the trail is fairly level.
For more information about this hike please contact Dana or Doug Duvall at 970-230-6543 or danakol24@aol.com.
