Hult Dam & Reservoir

Beginning in the Whittaker Creek Campground, the steep Old Growth Ridge Trail
ascends 750 vertical feet over a mile’s length, topping out at a peekaboo
viewpoint over the Siuslaw River. Benches and interpretive panels along the
way allow a moment to catch one’s breath. A short spur trail descends slightly
to a lightning-struck Douglas Fir tree. The unique site and setting of the Old
Growth Ridge Trail and its newer Armantrout Loop segment make it nationally
significant, earning it National Recreation Trail status.

## Know Before You Go:

  * The trailhead is located between campsites 23 and 24 on the opposite side of the campground loop road.
  * Visitors can park in the campground day use parking areas. During the winter when the park is closed to access, they can park near the entrance or in the boating area opposite the campground on the river. Please do not block the gate and use caution if parking along the major haul road.
  * Trail boardwalks can be very slick when wet; use caution when traversing them.
  * The day use area and 31-site campground are open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. This is a first-come, first served campground opportunity.

## Point of Interest:

On the return from the top, take the Armantrout Loop Trail at Alden Glen trail
junction. This 1.4-mile alternative has eight switchbacks to maintain a gentle
grade on your way back to the trailhead.

## Overview

NOTICE: The Clay Creek Trail is closed indefinitely due to multiple downed
trees.

Reserve a campsite at Clay Creek on recreation.gov or pay when you arrive for
non-reserved campsites using the Recreation.gov Mobile App. You must download
before you reach the site since there is no cell reception in the drainage.

Clay Creek Recreation Site is nestled in the Coast Range of Oregon between
Eugene and the Oregon coast at an elevation of 436-492 feet. Located at the
confluence of Clay Creek and the Siuslaw River, this recreation site offers a
wealth of activities including forest hiking, fishing, wildlife viewing,
picnicking and camping. The Springfield Office of the Northwest Oregon
District of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages the Clay Creek
Recreation Site.

## Recreation

This quiet family oriented recreation site is a favorite if you enjoy
riverside camping with an interpretive trail to old-growth timber. Spacious
campsites with paved parking pads, mossy vine-maple tangles, and tall straight
firs make up this camping area. The recreation site also boasts large group
shelters available by reservation for group outings, weddings, or other
events.

The Clay Creek Trail, created in 1991 for hiking, provides access to a stand
of Douglas fir high above the campground and the Siuslaw River. The site’s
Clay Creek Trail ascends a ridge above the campground to a remnant old-growth
stand. From camp, you cross the concrete bridge on Clay Creek Road and river
to begin the hike.

## Facilities

Clay Creek offers 21 individual campsites to accommodate 32 feet of RV, truck
and trailer, or tents. Most sites contain fire ring, barbeque grill, picnic
table, and tent pad. In addition, the site contains vault toilets, a summer
swimming area with dressing rooms nearby, individual picnic sites, a
children’s play area, horseshoe pits, potable water, volleyball area (bring
your net and ball), and a ball field.

## Natural Features

Clay Creek campground and the surrounding area are home to large canopy trees
such as Douglas fir, western hemlock, red cedar, red alder and big leaf maple.
The forest understory features a host of native plants like rhododendron,
salal, various fern species, salmonberry and vine maple. On the forest floor,
oxalis, Calypso orchids and mosses compliment the scenery. A diverse variety
of bird life, from the seldom seen pileated woodpecker, northern spotted owl
and marbled murrelet to the ever-present Oregon junco, frequent this area.
Signs of larger animals, such as raccoon, mink, bear, elk, deer and beaver are
evident.

Clay Creek is part of the Siuslaw River watershed that drains water from the
Coast Range to the Pacific Ocean. The river flows broad, cloudy, and green and
calls to anglers; check current fishing regulations before casting your line.
The Siuslaw River is a salmon watch site that runs fast and cold during the
winter months, where you can observe spawning Coho and Chinook salmon in the
river’s exceptional habitat during the fall and winter.

## Nearby Attractions

Put-ins for the river downstream, along the Siuslaw River Road. No permit
