Hike the Banks-Vernonia Linear Park Trail
An approximately 40 mile round trip hike
I did this in segments in 2010. That trail report can be found HERE.



GETTING THERE AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

So I'm back in 2014 to see how much this trail and hike has improved over the
past four years.

Segment one: Banks, Oregon Trailhead to Buxton
Segment two: Buxton Trailhead to Tophill Trailhead
Segment three: Tophill Trailhead to the Beavercreek Trailhead
Segment four: Beavercreek Trailhead to Vernonia
Segment five: Anderson Park
Segment six: Stub Stewart State Park
Segment seven: Connecting the Banks-Vernonia and Crown-Zellerbach Trails

SIDE TRIPS: Caddywhomper



Not very scenic this time of year.







This trailhead at the edge of Vernonia Lake is the most likely connection
point to the end of the Crown-Zellerbach trail (if they don't build a foot bridge
over the creek).





This structure was part of the Oregon-American Lumber Company that operated the
largest all-electric mill in the World. The mill closed in 1957.



The building is posted no trespassing but that seems to be mostly ignored.
