themselves...

With just a handful of camping areas (near the fish hatchery), the creek remains largely undisturbed,
and the water is clear, but fairly low in the summer. This is a real remote area and can be described as
somewhat untamed.

Winchester Trails
(Coos Bay, OR)
(541-396-7750)
This trail system was once a real gem but some have told us that it is now somewhat in need of repair.
The trails are mostly soft damp single track surrounded by thick vegetation but lack of funding may have
caused some of them to deteriorate and you will likely encounter deep ruts, washouts and windfall.

The trails are numbered and most eventually loop back to the main road, however, there may also be
some logging paths that cross over the trail multiple times, making it difficult to determine which is the
path and which is the trail.
