Cumberland Trail is a short, easy out-and-back hike in Oregon, about 0.4 miles from the town of Willamette Heights. The route is roughly 0.8 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 253 feet, and it reaches a high point of about 619 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 80°F with only three or four wet days a month, while winter brings highs in the mid-40s and rain on most days. The trail makes an easy pairing with other short walks in the area. Upper Macleay Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and Lower Macleay Trail and Jay Trail are both within half a mile. For paddling, Fanno Creek is about 6 miles off.
