Hall Lake Loop is a short, easy loop in Oregon's Siuslaw National Forest, within the Central Coast Ranger District-ODNRA. The trail is about 0.7 miles long, with a total elevation gain of about 12 feet, so it's a gentle walk that can be done in a single outing. The route is a loop, and the trail surface is natural. Bikes are allowed, so it works for hikers and riders alike. The trail is open year-round, and the Forest Service manages the land. Summer and early fall are the mildest times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Winchester Bay show highs around 70°F in July and August and about 71°F in September, with lows near 50°F. Winter highs there run in the low 50s. The Schuttpelz East Trail and Schuttpelz Lake Trail both start about 0.2 miles away. Eel Creek, a canoeing spot, is about 0.9 miles off, and Eel Creek Campground is about a mile away.
