The Scotty Creek Trail is 4.2 miles long, heading north from the Scotty Creek Trailhead, located along Forest Service Road 250 just north of Mill Creek Wilderness, and terminating at the Cougar West Trailhead.
Heading north, the trail meanders north by northwest through stands of ponderosa pine and mixed conifer before dropping down into the Scotty Creek drainage and passing its confluence with Grant Creek.

This trail is maintained by Central Oregon Trail Alliance.
Cougar Creek and Scotty Creek are clear. This might be the last weekend this year before snow sets in so go get ‘er.
The newly rebuilt Scotty Creek Trail is open, cleared of deadfall and riding awesome now. Go check it out, you won’t be disappointed! Best ridden with a shuttle and you can get a few laps in a day.
Scotty Creek Trail is temporarily closed while Dirt Mechanics completes rehab work.
The Ochoco National Forest received a dusting to a few inches of snow this week depending on elevation; if heading out be prepared for all conditions.
