Trail Overview

FS 5316 is a 15.9-mile out-and-back trail branching off FS 53 and winding through the Umatilla National Forest before terminating at a private property boundary 1 mile past Potamus Point. The trail is wide, gravel, and well-maintained with only sparse washboarding and potholes throughout; however, the road surface can become soft when wet. Countless spur trails are available to explore, and stunning views from Potamus Ridge can be enjoyed near the trail's end. The final mile past Potamus Point features brushy sections in some areas, so turning around at Potamus Point is recommended. FS 5316 is accessible year-round.
