Description:

BLACK ROCK TRAIL - Hike is 4.1 miles

Black Rock Trail offers hikers a scenic 4.1-mile journey through Central Oregon's volcanic landscapes. Starting at Lava Lands Visitor Center near Bend, it winds alongside massive dark lava flows amid ponderosa pines. This easy-to-moderate trail follows a net downhill of 503 feet toward Benham Falls, with occasional technical lava rock sections that require careful footing. Midway, a short spur climbs to a lava field overlook with panoramic Cascade Range views.
