BLM reopens Lower Table Rock trails after improvements
MEDFORD, Ore. — The Bureau of Land Management has re-opened the Lower Table Rock-Oak Savannah Loop Trail, following the completion of a paving project designed to expand safe, accessible recreation opportunities. The trail now meets Architectural Barriers Act accessibility standards.
The trails closed mid-March to complete trail upgrades, including grading, draining improvements, and installation of a layer of base gravel and asphalt.
“We’re excited to have an accessible trail system so close to town,” said Scott Nagel, Butte Falls Field Manager. “These public lands are an important part of our community, and we appreciate everyone’s patience during the closure.”
The lower loop trail is approximately one mile long and winds through an oak savannah. It features interpretive panels highlighting the ecology and history of the area.
More than 50,000 visitors annually hike the Table Rocks, making it one of the most popular hiking locations in southern Oregon.
