About This Trail

Log Jam Loop is a scenic and slightly more rugged trail that follows the edge of the creek, offering a closer connection to the area's natural waterways and wildlife. The route passes through gravel bars, sandy banks, and peaceful back eddies, creating a more immersive wilderness experience than the surrounding trails.


Less developed than some of the nearby paths, Log Jam Loop retains a natural feel while remaining enjoyable for hikers seeking a quiet escape into nature. Along the way, keep an eye on the clear waters and shoreline, where you may be rewarded with sightings of spawning salmon during the migration season, as well as local wildlife such as mink, river otters, and a variety of bird species.


Whether explored on its own or as part of the larger trail network, Log Jam Loop offers a relaxing hike through beautiful riverside scenery, making it an excellent choice for nature lovers, wildlife enthusiasts, and photographers looking to experience the peaceful beauty of the area.

Getting There

Directions

The Log Jam Loop branches off the Outflow Loop Trail on the downstream side, past the Cedar Bridge. Look for the marked fork leading down toward the creek bank.

Parking

Park in the main hatchery lot off Owens Rd; the trailhead is a short walk in via the Outflow Loop Trail.

Safety & Preparation

  • Terrain is uneven, with exposed roots, rocks, and occasional soft or muddy ground near the water — not recommended for strollers or wheelchairs.
  • Riverbanks can be undercut or unstable; stay back from the creek's edge, especially during high water.
  • Watch for slippery rocks and logs near the gravel bars.
  • Bear and wildlife activity is more likely along this stretch — carry bear spray and stay alert.
