Other Hiking Opportunities

There are many other hiking opportunities in Southern Oregon. For example, Jacksonville’s 1100-acre Forest Park, located one mile west of our historic downtown, offers 15 miles of grand vistas, hiking trails, small creeks, the town’s old reservoir, interpretive markers, and remnants of old gold mines. Forest Park is a great place to ride bikes or horses or to take an extended hike.

Also nearby is the Sterling Mine Ditch Trail in the Applegate.  More information can be found at the BLM’s web page:  Sterling Mine Ditch Trail ,  Siskiyou Uplands Trail Association and Forest Park.

There are also access points along various streets and neighborhoods adjoining the trail system.
