Description:
At 4.5 Miles, 291 ft elevation, Shevlin Park is located just a few miles from the heart of Bend and is a great go-to place for locals to come walk, trail run and mountain bike after work and on weekends. This is a special local favorite in October because Shevlin Park is one of the few places in Oregon where you can see larch trees, which have needles that turn yellow in the fall. Shevlin Park has about 50 developed acres where you will find well signed walking, hiking and mountain biking trails through beautiful Ponderosa and lodgepole pine forest and along Tumalo Creek. Shevlin Loop Trail which is a beautiful trail that takes you through old growth ponderosa pine, follows the canyon rim and crosses Tumalo Creek twice. Requires a parking permit that can be purchased at the parking lot. Best hiked March thru Oct
