21. Hiking
•
Table Rock is located in Sams Valley near Medford & Central Point Oregon. Table Rock was a sanctuary for Takelma Indians.
There are two Table Rock mesas, an upper Table Rock and a Lower Table Rock. Upper Table Rock is a bit shorter and slightly easier to
hike. Both are open all year and No fee to hike them. To Book a Tour please call 541-618-2200
The Upper Table Rock provides a wonderful hiking trail to the top of this enormous flat rock. Springtime is the best to catch the best
flower and endangered wildflower displays and to avoid the heat. The views are spectacular from the top. Here you can see the most of
Sams Valley and Rogue Valley south to Ashland and Mt McLaughlin.
Hiking Upper Table Rock is a moderately easy 2.8-mile trip, with a 720-foot gain. At the 1.1-mile point there is a final steep pitch on
the trail suddenly, then you reach the table's amazingly flat summit. Although easy for some to hike, we suggest you be in good health
to hike it, especially in the summer. The Lower Table Rock trail is longer and rockier, climbing through shadier woods. The path climbs,
steeply at times, after 1.6 miles the path suddenly crests at the plateau and becomes an old road. Walk another 200 yards up the road
and fork left on a trail that ends at a 200-foot cliff & viewpoint. Lower Table Rock was dedicated as a nature preserve by The Nature
Conservancy in 1979. The picture to the left was taken while standing atop Table Rock overlooking the valley towards Phoenix, Medford
and Ashland direction with Mt McLaughlin in the distance.
To find the Upper Table Rock trailhead from the Interstate 5, take Central Point Exit 33 (north of Medford), drive east on Biddle
Road 1 mile, turn left on Table Rock Road for 5.2 miles to a curve, and turn right on Modoc Road for 1.5 miles to the trailhead parking
lot on the left, just opposite of an electric substation.
To find the Lower Table Rock trailhead from here, return 1.5 miles to Table Rock Road, turn right (away from Medford) to milepost 10,
and then turn left on Wheeler Road 0.8 mile.

The McGrew Trail is accessed by driving (from Grants Pass) south on highway 199 to the town of O'brien, turn right (west) on county road
#5550, the Lone Mountain Road. (This road becomes Forest Road #4402). Proceed approximately 4 miles to Forest Road 4402-019. McGrew
Trail requires high clearance vehicles and four-wheel drive. There is a wet season closure on this road to reduce the threat of spreading Port
Orford cedar root rot.
Site Description:
The McGrew Trail is an extremely ruff and rocky trail that requires a minimal of 6 hours to
drive. It is best traveled from East to West. The trail has a couple of sloughs that are best left for the dedicated rock machine and very
experienced drivers. Most choose to take the by-passes. The trail ends close to Sourdough Campground. McGrew is best experienced in high
clearance 4 wheel drives. Class I's are not recommended due to the heavy rock and Class III should only be riding by the most experienced
riders. McGrew is extremely remote trail. Travel on the trail is not recommended for single vehicles.
