Shady Lane is a mountain biking route in Newell Creek Canyon on Regional Agency Land in Oregon, about 1.6 miles from the Oregon City weather station. It's a flat, easy ride with no elevation gain, so it works well as a short outing or a warm-up before heading to other trails in the area. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from the nearby Oregon City station show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 78°F, while July and August average about 84°F. Several other routes sit within a short distance. Canyon Spring Loop and Tumble Falls Trail are both about 0.2 miles away, and the Red Soil Roller mountain biking route is also about 0.2 miles off. For paddling, Abernethy Creek is roughly 2.9 miles away.
