Table Rocks Area of Critical Environmental Concern

Rising dramatically above the Rogue Valley, these two prominent, lava-capped mesas offer outstanding hiking opportunities and access to an incredible array of biological diversity. Just a short climb—2.5 miles round trip on Upper Table Rock Trail or 3.5 miles round trip on Lower Table Rock Trail—results in panoramic views of the Rogue Valley and the surrounding Cascade and Siskiyou Mountains. The 0.5-mile wheelchair accessible Oak Savannah Loop Trail on Lower Table Rock provides a less strenuous alternative. Spring wildflowers on both Table Rocks are spectacular with up to 75 species of wildflowers on display!
