Springwater Corridor

Springwater Corridor is a short mountain biking route in Oregon, set on city land within the Springwater Corridor itself. It's a quick outing, with the round-trip distance about 0.6 miles and a total climb of 73 feet, so it works well as a warm-up or a break between longer rides. The route is an out-and-back, starting at about 506 feet and reaching a high point of 525 feet. The steepest stretch comes early, at about 0.06 miles in, with a grade of about 4 percent. The climb is gentle, and the route is easy to fit into a day of exploring the surrounding trails. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 82°F with only about four wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the mid-40s and rain on most days. Cazadero Trail is about 1.2 miles away for more mountain biking. Kelly Creek Greenway Trail and Gresham Butte Saddle Trail are both within about 3.5 miles for hiking, and Beaver Creek offers canoeing about 4.9 miles off.
