Prepare for a challenging touring bicycle adventure on the Oakridge to Hills Creek Reservoir loop, a difficult route covering 30.8 miles (49.6 km). You will gain 2896 feet (883 metres) in elevation, with an estimated duration of 3 hours and 37 minutes. As you cycle, you will experience a mix of paved and gravel sections, offering varied terrain and spectacular views of the water and dense forest, particularly along the east side of Hills Creek Reservoir.
When planning your visit, be aware that the route includes a notable gravel section on Forest Road 2118, located on the east side of Hills Creek Reservoir. While generally in good condition, you might encounter rock slide debris and erosion damage in a couple of spots, especially around miles 15-16. Oakridge provides convenient amenities such as public bathrooms and a bike washing station near the reservoir, and local bike shops are available for advice or repairs.
This loop takes you through the rugged mountain country of the Willamette National Forest. Keep an eye out for a unique section where giant trees, hanging moss, and dense foliage create an enchanted forest feel, with sunlight filtering through the canopy. You may also spot wildlife like bald eagles and loons around the reservoir, adding to the natural beauty of your ride.
