Trail Description
E-bikes NOT allowed on River
The River Trail within Smith Rock State Park is a very scenic and popular hiking trail that allows bikes. There is a massive amount of foot traffic here, so make sure to yield to hikers and ride at non-peak times of the day/week. This is often ridden as part of a longer loop around Smith Rock or Grey Butte.

A puddle or two. Riding well.
Oregon State Parks are closed as of March 23rd. This includes trails at Smith Rock State Park.
Nice trail for winter ride. Some ice puddles here and there, but mostly firm dirt.
Good condition. A few wet spots. The last 0.2 mile of trail is muddy, near the Misery Ridge intersection. Not busy. I ran the trail today. No bikers on the trail today. Only hikers and trail runners were on the trail.
A little soft sand remains where the trail had been under water but otherwise perfect.
Trails was great 3/19 except for a 100 yd section that was flooded due to the river rising. We were able to hike a bike to higher ground, and get back on the trail without too much trouble.
River trail was perfect this morning. Trail was either frozen or hero dirt. I hit it at the crack of dawn to ride in the lower temps and to avoid a potential mud fest. The plan worked… SCORE!!!
