Collier State Park Loop Hike

Overview

Situated at the confluence of two wide and pristine waterways, Spring Creek and the Williamson River, Collier Memorial State Park exhibits one other singular feature: an outdoor logging museum that rivals any in the country. The museum itself is worth a stopover on any trip to the area, but hiking trails run along both rivers, which host healthy fish populations, including record Great Basin red band trout. Spring Creek itself is a geological curiosity. Its source is perhaps 30 miles to the west on the east side of Crater Lake , but it only sees the light of day where it gushes forth about two miles north of Collier as a full-blown river! Note that much of the state park was affected by the 2020 Two Four Two Fire.
