HIKE
Well within a an hour of Eagle Point there are multiple day and even overnight hiking opportunities. Here are some of our favorites!
LOWER AND UPPER TABLE ROCKS, WHITE CITY
Lower Table Rock is a 3.5 mile round trip hike and Upper Table Rock is a 2.5 mile round trip hike, but don’t stop when you reach the top of the trail head. Both tables offer magnificent views when you explore the top boasting vernal pools and wildflowers in the spring, and almost dessert like views in the summer. When you hike to edge you will encounter phenomenal views of the Rogue Valley. A quick 15 mile jaunt from Eagle Point.

MILL CREEK FALLS, BARR CREEK FALLS, & AVENUE OF THE GIANT BOULDERS, PROSPECT
The hike to Mill Creek Falls is a short 1.4 mile out and back hike. A very easy hike for kids with a wide path for discovery. Be mindful that there are no rails so keep your distance from the edge. Barr Creek Falls is less than 1/4 mile up the same trail and the best view is atop the boulder that is at the end of the path.
If you want to continue your exploration taking a left at the fork takes you to the Avenue of the Giant Boulders. Get ready to be amazed by the power of the mighty Rogue River. Our kids love to climb all over the rocks and we will often enjoy our snack while relaxing on them. If you go at the end of the summer the water is low enough that you can climb the rocks almost to the bridge which is also a great spot to get some bouldering/rick climbing in if you have the equipment to do so.
PEARSONY FALLS, PROSPECT
If you are going to Mill Creek Falls you may as well go to Pearsony Falls as it is only a mile up the road. More a walk then a hike, take the nature path to see this beautiful waterfall hidden among the trees. If you continue your walk you will be at the top of the Mill Creek Falls.
BLUE CANYON TRAIL TO BLUE LAKE, KLAMATH FALLS
If you are looking for a longer hike that is going to take you into enchanting forests and to a beautiful lake you must do this. This is a 6.3 moderate out and back hike that you can from March until November and is part of the Sky Lakes Wilderness.
LOST CREEK LAKE
This hike is a wonderful moderate hike for the family. If you want to do the whole hike around the lake it is 18 miles, but you can do an out and back from Joseph H. Stewart Park. Along the way there are open meadows, wildflowers and gorgeous views of Lost Creek Lake. You can also spend the day at the Lost Creek Marina where you can rent paddleboards, sailboats, kayaks and more.
