Nice trail park. Very well maintained and marked. Was a very good place for mountain biking, downhill trails were built well. The bike wash and maintenance station at the parking lot was a nice bonus.I probably wouldnt reccomend the beginner trail (acer spades) for total novices, but once you have a bit of cornering and braking practice youll have a lot of fun. No major obstacles on it, just plenty of sections where you can pick up decent speed before and through the corners, which might make some fresh riders nervous.

Needs more than 5 stars, excellent trail, gorgeous area, just wonderful

Great trail, nice and long, gets my heart rate up but not too challenging. Love that its close to home. The only thing I dont like about it is theres not a real defined top or a great view when you get to the top. Very family friendly.

Really great intermediate bike trails. The green trail is actually probably the funnest trail because you can really rail the berms and pump the rollers like a pump track. The upper trail has a nice little chute and a few small jumps to flat on the side if you know where to look. Some stream crosses which dry up in mid July. The trails dont drain that well, so let them dry out for a couple days before riding in the summer months if they get significant rain. Thank you to Willamalane and Disciples of Dirt!! Hear more great things are coming in the future.If youre a true true beginner, look for the Acer cut in about 1/3 of the way up mossy maple on your left (orange sign marks it). Gives you a nice little 1/3 mile downhill trail which is a little flatter so braking and learning to turn in berms is easier.

Wonderful hikes super great outdoor experience trails are very well maintained as you get a little bit higher on the trails it gets a little bit more rocky Id suggest only going up there if you have a mountain bike or some hiking boots but the view at the very very very top is awesome.

Beautiful hiking with surprising views if youre willing to explore.

Beautiful forest hike up in the Thurston Hills. Plenty of mountain biking too if thats your jam.

This park is easy to locate with an open parking lot and restroom. The hiking trail consists of multiple paths for hiking or a mountain bike path. The gravel hiking path is spacious and highlights the raw nature of Western Oregon.

Amazing trail with beautiful scenery

Beautiful area. Wish the timber companies would leave the surrounding areas alone.

Beautiful climb up shady forest trail.

This is a hidden gem. Bike trails and walking trails. Clean bathrooms! Bottle fill up. Bike rack with tools to fix bike. Dog washing station (im sure its for your bike) lol... love this... gently winding path up... up...

Great cardio hill climb

Love this addition to our local trails and hikes lineup. Its all uphill but gentle inclines. Great views, dog friendly, and has a downhill extreme bike course nearby as well. Bathrooms are newer Nd well maintained and clean. AND theres a cleaning station one can use on shoes, bikes, or tour dogs after all the mud. Will be using this trail regularly

Very beautiful natural walk/ hike

Beautiful, close to town hike.

Nice trail on the outskirts of Springfield, havent had much time out there yet. Looks promising tho.

Very nice park

Tons of fun, especially the mountain bike trail

Great incline, beautiful trail! Loved the foliage! Cant wait to run this trail again or bring the family back next time!

Very clean and quiet escape from town. Beautiful wooded hiking/biking trails.

Loved it! The trails are wonderful and we loved hiking through the forest!

Havent seen much of it yet. Ok so far

Great for walking, hiking, trail running, mountain biking, dog walking.

Love walking here with the dogs, family and friends!

Havent had but one chance to go. But Im going back soon. Great little place for a hike and the views.

Great clean family friendly hike!

Super kewl mt bike trail!

I’m very grateful for this awesome resource so close to home! Thank you Willamalane and the Disciples of Dirt for making this community park!

Good workout trails

Great place to visit.

Some nice views, all uphill, I wish it wasnt such a long walk to the trailhead, theres no place to park on the west end of the trail.

A little bit difficult to find. The entrance is actually located at the end of a dead end road (Mt. Vernon). From there you walk down an abandoned paved road for about 1/2 a mile till you reach the entrance of the natural area. As of April, the Spine Trail is under construction and closed. So, you are just hiking up a gravel access road. Dont let this deter you though, the views from the top are wonderful. There is also a lovely wildflower meadow.

Hike the entire trail of Thurston Trail its very secure you will be one with nature I recommend this Trail to anyone come out and enjoy yourself

Great trail perfect for a good workout. Awesome for just a relaxing hike.

Drove around trying to find it for an hour. Gave up and went home. Finally found a review where someone explained how the hell to get there, which was much appreciated. Maybe well check it out another day.Willamalanes website was useless as their version of directions is a link to Google maps and Google maps will drive you into a field. We were on Mt. Vernon twice and it told us we were in the wrong place.

This was an amaxing place to go hiking. Its a bit of an uphill challaange. A bunch of switchbacks to the top. Then it gets to a really steep grade when you try to go down the spine. But just this part is nice, very family friendly, and not that steep. Can be done in just a couple hours. There is also alot of wild life and nature to bee seen on this trail as well

Great pathway for biking

Quietly walking

Nice trail. Gets u away from everyone thats stuck in the smog in the mornings.
