Henline Mountain is a moderate out-and-back hike in the Detroit Ranger District of Oregon's Willamette National Forest, managed by the Forest Service. The trail climbs from about 2,124 feet to 4,105 feet, and the total round-trip elevation gain is 2,990 feet. The steepest part comes around mile 1.7, where the grade reaches about 38 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the Marion Forks Fish Hatchery weather station, about 24 miles away, show July and August highs around 82°F with only about four wet days a month. Winter is cold and wet, with highs near 40°F and snow on six days a month in January and December. The station sits roughly 1,600 feet below the summit, so temperatures up high run cooler. The trip is estimated to take about three hours. Shady Cove Campground is less than half a mile from the trail, and Henline Falls and Ogle Mountain are within a mile and a half. Paddlers can find Elkhorn Creek about 2.6 miles away.
