Doerner Fir Trail is a short, easy hike in Oregon on Bureau of Land Management land within the Coos Bay Myrtlewood Field Office. The trailhead is called Doerner Fir Trailhead, and the route is an out-and-back that gains about 106 feet over roughly 0.76 miles, with the high point at 1,620 feet. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Roseburg show June highs around 77°F with only about six wet days, and September highs near 80°F with around five wet days. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. Paddlers will find East Fork Brummit Creek about 0.4 miles away, and Brummit Creek, West Fork Brummit Creek and Lost Creek are all within about 4 miles.
