The Old Oregon Trail is a historic trail through the Snake River Valley and the golden rolling hills and gulches of Eastern Oregon. This route was actually part of the trail that the settlers used on the Oregon Trail with their wagons, although we recommend using a motorized vehicle. 4WD is unnecessary for this trail; any high-clearance vehicle can make it.
Near the north of the trail is Love Reservoir. There is a spur that will take you down the eastern shore of the lake; however, there is no lake access from the road.
Most of the trail is dirt, with non-technical rocky patches. Additionally, this trail is part of a great trail system, and you can do a loop with the Dry Gulch Road in the south. The middle section also intersects Moores Hollow.
