December 26, 2020Great trail but a lot of ice, really needed spikes to do the whole thing

November 24, 2020November 23, 2020I’ve done this hike, used it as a trail run, rock climbed and gone rafting down the side of this trail! Such a fun place thats multipurpose!
November 20, 2020Snowy (mid November) but beautiful and easily hikable in running shoes. Total milage was 8.0 (not the 6.8 that AllTrails suggested).
October 25, 2020We went last Tuesday & it was the perfect time of year. Dropped a car at Benham & Dillon & walked one way - due to time constraints.
October 18, 2020Crowded but good.
October 7, 2020Great easy walk to see the river with the reward of falls at the start and at the end, mostly shaded but some open areas to get some sun. Minimal traffic on a Wednesday, bikers weren't flying by, no crowds or even people at the falls mid-day (!!)
October 6, 2020Stunning views. We loved this easy hike. Picnic tables provide a lovely place to stop for a lunch break. Can't wait to do this hike again!!
October 6, 2020Easy go and longer than indicated in the description (9 miles). Benham Falls is a great payoff from Dillon Falls parking area. Nice dusty trail with a few bikers, trail runners and dog walkers. Minimal traffic on the Monday we did it.
September 27, 2020easy hike great for the dogs very very busy if you're looking to get away from everyone maybe not this hike but all the views were spectacular great for all ages and all levels
September 22, 2020Beautiful trail, great scenery, gentle ascents and descents, very few bugs today. There wasn’t a lot of traffic—a handful of mountain bikers and a handful of hikers—on a Tuesday mid morning. Dogs are allowed off-leash after Sept 15. The wetlands restoration looks fantastic.
September 20, 2020Crowded and dusty but definitely mice. Bring bug spray!

August 31, 2020July 19, 2020Love the this trail system. Be kind and let runners and bikers pass. Enjoy the beautiful views & wildflowers.
July 12, 2020Beautiful trail along the river. We saw lots of wildflowers. Flat and easy trail with pretty scenery.
June 16, 2020Great trail run along the River! Central Oregon weather at its finest... be prepared for rain and light snow!
June 14, 2020We started at Benham and walked to Dillon Falls, very enjoyable. Ignored the trail detour and just walked thru the downed tree section.
June 10, 2020FYI the first mile of this trail is closed for construction through June 18. There is a trail detour set up that adds a couple miles and it’s the super scenic, but once you get back on the train, there are so many beautiful spots along the river as you approach the falls. With the detour, though, the whole hike was about 9 miles. If you want to avoid the detour, just start at the Slough Day-Use Area. Overall still a beautiful hike on a well-maintained trail!
June 7, 2020Great flat trail for a trail run. Some blown down trees to climb over but not many. Awesome falls at the turn back point.
May 19, 2020Went on a week day morning. Not very crowded. Based on NF signage, I’m not sure this is a trail for mtn biking. But very casual and great for beginners!
