Perimeter Trail - Silver Falls State Park

About this event

This hike does not include any waterfalls, but its lush beauty combined with lots of summer shade and no crowds has made it popular with many Chemeketans. The trail is sometimes part of a longer loop, but this hike will be an up and back.  Different devices register different trail lengths ranging from 6.5 to 7.5 miles. Please register by Sept. 3 via email or phone (no texts) and  indicate if you'd prefer meeting at the trailhead,  carpooling from south Keizer, or carpooling from the state motor pool. If you register by email, please include a phone number.  Limit: 12.
