Summary: This is a good year round hike which if you are going from Adair to Oak Creek, starts with a gradual climb up the 540 road by the by the OSU sports logging training are and Cronemiller Lake. Just past the lake you take a right onto the 500 road and start a steep climb up to the "summit junction". At this point you have two choices, you can stay on the 500 road (or Netteton Rd) which continues a long climb, then a quick downhill or the 580 road (Davies Rd) which is up and down with better views and you go by the Quarry Pond. Either way ends at the Lewisburg Saddle (there are portajohns at this point). Cross Sulphur Springs Rd and follow the 600 road (or Patterson Rd) up to the Dimple Hill junction (go left on the 650 for a short steep hike to the top of Dimple Hill) where you stay to the right on the 600 road and start a long decent to the orange gate at the OSU Oak Creek Lab. There is a paved parking lot and portajohns at this location also. Trailhead: From Corvallis, Oregon, take 3rd Street west which becomes HWY 99 W. and head north 7.5 miles until you see the first entrance into Adair Village (by the little store) which is on your right. If you look left (or west) you'll see a small turn around and an orange gate (for OSU). This is your starting point (note: This is an point to point hike, so it can be done from either direction, also the route was so long, that I out the second half in the "location" section of the Maps instead of an expanded view) (Lat:44.61418 Lon:-123.28559) Trail Guides for Camp Adair to Oak Creek: Best Seasons: Year-Round User Groups: Hikers, Dogs, Bikes, Horses, Ranger Contact: Oregon State Department of Forestry Localhikes Reporter: This hike was submitted by Craig Cole, who has posted 72 other hikes on this site Trail Reviews Submit your own review Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
