Poison Drunk is a short, steep out-and-back mountain biking route in Oregon, about 4 miles from the town of Lewisburg. The climb rises from 695 feet to 969 feet over a 0.42-mile round trip, with a total gain of 550 feet. The route is rated hard, and the steepest stretch comes within the first 0.05 miles, where the grade reaches 26 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Corvallis show July and August highs in the low 80s with only about three wet days a month, while winter brings highs in the upper 40s and rain on more than 20 days a month. That station sits roughly 700 feet lower than the route's high point, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. Several other mountain biking routes lie close by, including Log Bridget at half a mile and Funnel Cake at 0.7 miles. The Trail of Woe hike is 0.9 miles away, and paddlers can find Soap Creek about 6 miles off.
