Lower Table Rock Hike

Overview

The horseshoe-shaped andesite plateaus of Upper and Lower Table Rocks are a singular feature of the Rogue River valley near Medford. With unique geology, ecology, and history, the 800-foot mesas both have popular hiking trails to their broad scabland plateaus. You’ll ascend through four ecosystems (oak savanna, chaparral, mixed woods, and mounded prairie), and gain views to Mount McLoughlin and the California Siskiyous as well as the urban settlements of the Bear Creek Valley. The area is jointly administered by the Bureau of Land Management and The Nature Conservancy: stick to the trails and no dogs allowed!
