This trail is the main route to access Ramona Falls Trail. The trail travels up the mudflow from Mt Hood’s most recent volcanic activity. This mudflow took out most of the trees in its path about 200 years ago; hence the trees that you will pass are Lodgepole Pines and are relatively young. Sandy River Trail is a rather gentle trail except where is crosses the Sandy River itself. Its tread surface is sandy, which makes for a bit more challenging bike handling in spite of its easier grade.

Regulations & Leave No Trace Information: There are no regulations specific to Sandy River Trail other than allowed uses.
