Daphne Grove is a short, easy hike in the Powers Ranger District of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forests in southwest Oregon, about 0.67 miles long with an elevation gain of 11 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is accessible. The route is a gentle walk on natural ground, with no horses or bikes allowed. It rises from about 834 feet to 855 feet, so it's a flat, low-effort outing. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from the nearby Illahe weather station show May highs around 75°F and October highs near 69°F, while July and August average about 90°F. Island Camp is about 1.2 miles away, and Rock Creek campground is about 1.9 miles off. Coquille River Falls and Johnson Creek are both within about 2.4 miles.
