Details: This hilly hike, just minutes from Roseburg, has amazing views of the Umpqua Valley and the surrounding mountains. The 6,500 acre preserve provides multiple hiking options that take hikers through oak groves, open meadows and grass-covered hillsides. The exact hiking route is yet to be determined but will probably be a hike of about 7 miles with shorter routes available. All trails go uphill, which is the price to pay for those amazing views.Map of the North Bank trail system:
