Sawmill Trail Millpond is an easy hike of about 1.1 miles on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management's Roseburg District Swiftwater Field Office in western Oregon. The trail is short and low, rising just 31 feet from about 1,060 feet to about 1,105 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at a similar elevation show July and August highs around 84°F with only about three wet days a month, while winter brings highs in the mid-40s and rain on roughly half the days. The trail sits right next to Millpond Recreation Site and Millpond Pavilion, both about 0.1 mile away. Farther out, the Honeycombs climbing area and the North Umpqua Trail are each about 4.4 miles off.
