Herman Creek Road to Wyeth TrailHead

State Trail

"The Herman Creek Road over Wyeth Bench has recently been paved and should be used as the hiking and biking connection between Cascade Locks and Wyeth, since no substantial sections of the original HCRH remain."


Oregon Department of Transportation. Historic Columbia River Highway Master Plan, Feb 1996, p. 20

ODOT 2006 Historic Columbia River Highway Master Plan: Section 2 - Warrendale to Mosier, Subsection F - Herman Creek to Wyeth

Existing Condition:

No substantial sections of the HCRH remain in this section. There is a small section of pavement south of the old weigh station. There is little opportunity to construct a connection project, because there is little available land between the Columbia River, the Union Pacific Railroad, Interstate 84 and an unstable, steep hill.

Vision:

The Herman Creek Road over Wyeth Bench, while steep, is paved and should be used as the hiking and biking connection between Cascade Locks and Wyeth.
