Oakridge

Tucked along the Middle Fork Willamette River in the western Cascade Range, Oakridge is a place whose character is shaped by the surrounding Willamette National Forest. Forested slopes rise close to town, while Salmon Creek joins the river nearby, giving the community a distinctly valley-floor setting. Oakridge grew with the railroad that followed this corridor, and that working heritage remains part of its identity. Today it is widely known in Oregon for mountain biking, with backcountry trails leading riders into the national forest. Hiking, fishing and exploring the upper Willamette country are also central to its appeal.
