Please note that the photos supplied for this hike were taken by my personal friend, Dean Kokko. I was unable to do this hike, but my friend, Dean, did it for me and photographed it for me. Thanks to him, I can offer you this hike.

Not having hiked this trail myself, I offer very little in the way of personal observations. I don't even have the mileage for the last couple legs of the drive up to the trailhead, but I'm confident that if you follow the map as illustrated, you won't have any difficulty getting there.

I know that due to a washout, you have to walk along the old roadbed for a little over a mile and a half before you actually reach the main trail to the summit of Table Rock. Then you begin hiking the actual trail to the top.

The photos that my friend Dean provided give you a good idea of what the hike is like and what views are available along the way. Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day he did this hike, so the summit views are obscured by low clouds.

There are a couple of ways to reach the high point of Table Rock, but this is the only one I could offer on this CD hiking guide.

From Portland, you can get there one of two ways, either from the west (Woodburn) or the north (Oregon City). From Oregon City, take exit 10 off I-205 south to Molalla on Highway 213 and turn left towards Estacada on Highway 211. Go a half mile and turn right onto S. Mathias Road. Go .3 mi and turn left on S. Feyrer Park Road. Go 1.6 mi and turn right onto S. Dickey Prairie Road. Take this 5.3 miles to S. Molalla Forest Road (it's not marked well but it is the bridge to the right that crosses the Molalla River).

Take this road, nice and paved, for 12.3 miles to a point where the paved road forks right and a gravel road goes left. Take the gravel road left. (There is a sign here that identifies it as the way to the Table Rock Trail) From here, basically follow the signs 7 miles to the trailhead. There are two more forks in the road with signs to get you there. Park at road's end at the trailhead.

If you want to access this from the west, take the Woodburn exit off I-5 where the Woodburn Outlet Stores are and head east on Highway 211 to the junction in downtown Molalla with Highway 213 and follow the same directions from there.
