MOTT SEGMENT
LENGTH: 5.5 Miles MODERATE

Paralleling the North Umpqua River, this segment serves as an excellent year-round access for all trail users. Passing through an old-growth forest at the western portion, the trail follows the river with small scramble trails down to the waters edge, where you can enjoy fly-fishing as well as beautiful scenery.

East of Wright Creek is the McDonald Trail. After several steep switchbacks, this four-mile side trail passes through middle-aged and old-growth forests and an old homestead. Wildflowers abound in the spring.
