Coffin Butte Trail is an easy out-and-back hike of about 1.7 miles on the E.E. Wilson Wildlife Area in Oregon, managed by State Fish and Wildlife. The trail rises from a low point of 231 feet to a high of 610 feet, with a total elevation gain of 632 feet over the round trip. The steepest stretch comes at about half a mile in, where the grade reaches 26 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Corvallis show July and August highs in the low 80s with only about three wet days a month, while winter brings highs in the upper 40s and rain on most days. The trail takes about an hour to complete. Soap Creek, a canoeing spot, lies about 0.7 miles away. The Santiam Christian Recreation Trail and Pond Trail are both within about 2.6 miles, and Calloway Creek Trail offers mountain biking at a similar distance.
