WILD ROGUE
This 14-mile, paved, multi-use trail follows the route of the now-abandoned Oregon Pacific & Eastern
Welcome to ROW RIVER TRAIL!
Railroad line along the scenic shores of the Row (rhymes with “cow”) River and Dorena Reservoir. There are many trailheads and places to stop and enjoy lake views and the surrounding farm country. Nearby is the historic Bohemia Mining Area which features remnants of late 1800s gold mines. The trestle bridge at Harms Park is one of several locations immortalized on the silver screen. Movies filmed along the railway include “Stand By Me” with River Phoenix and, in 1926, “The General” with Buster Keaton.
