Overview
This hike forms a northern and southern double loop along the west side of L.L. "Stub" Stewart State Park, named after a former logging company executive, Oregon state legislator, and advisor to the state parks department. Connecting the two loops, you can make use of the Banks Vernonia State Trail (see the Banks-Vernonia Traverse Hike ). The park is all secondary or tertiary growth coniferous and deciduous woodland, with some open areas, having been logged heavily in the past. While the northern end is more heavily used, the Bumping Knots Loop stretches down the west side of the Williams Creek valley and is more remote. You will see sign of deer, elk, and coyote, reach the creek itself, and also stop at a couple of viewpoints.
