Trail Overview
Meat Pole Trail is a 3.1-mile point-to-point route that serves as an alternate to a section of Trail 1, while also providing access to Trails 56, 53, 52, and 51. The trail is fast and flowing, with a few steep climbs and occasional muddy sections. Meat Pole is well suited as a warm-up or access trail, offering an approachable challenge with easy access from Wilson Creek Road. An Oregon State ATV operating permit is required for all vehicles. Signage at both ends of the trail states “No Jeeps.”
Difficulty
Providing an approachable challenge, Meat Pole Trail features a couple of steep climbs and mild rock gardens. Weather conditions such as rain or snow can increase difficulty due to reduced traction. As with most trails in the area, bringing a chainsaw or equipment to clear fallen trees is recommended.
