This 100-mile trail built on the old rail bed of the Oregon, California and Eastern Railroad (OC&E) is Oregon's longest linear park.
The trail is open to all non-motorized recreation beginning at Klamath Falls, extending east to Bly and north to the lush Sycan Marsh.
The trail is paved between the Klamath Falls Trailhead and Hwy. 39. On this section, visitors can bike, jog, skate and ride horseback.
At this section, visitors can experience the historic 1898 steel bridge spanning the A Canal and imagine the feel of an old-time steam engine crossing its riveted beams.
From Highway 39, an unpaved section enters a wonderful mix of ranch land, rivers and forested buttes. All the original trestles are still in place, as well as unique engineering feats such as the double switchback.
This trail section is more rugged and attracts mountain bikers, avid hikers, anglers, horseback riders and wildlife watchers.
From Beatty to the Sycan Marsh, trail users travel through a national forest with lofty ponderosa pines, lively steams and Horse Glade Trailhead camping.
This section hosts the massive Merritt Creek Trestle towering 50 feet high and 400 feet long above the stream.
Cross-country skiers enjoy the trails here and Sycan Marsh is an attraction for bird watchers.
