Sterling Mine Ditch Trail

A low elevation trail offering year round opportunities for hikers, equestrian, and mountain bike users. This was the first trail designated a State Scenic Trail in southern Oregon. The trail offers a host of varied vegetation types, and the relatively flat terrain on the trail is great for all levels of experience. 21 miles of trail provides the user with ample opportunities for exploration. The trail follows the historic Sterling Mine Ditch, which carried water to the Sterling Creek Mine, from the 1880s until the 1930s.
