Driving Directions
This is not a real trailhead, but you need to park in this vicinity in order to take a short, steep use trail up to the Image Creek Trail, which comes close to the road here, in order to complete the shorter version of the Table Rock-Image Creek Loop Hike:
Drive I-5 south and take Exit 271 for Woodburn and Silverton. Turn left on Highway 214 (Newberg Highway) for Woodburn, Mt. Angel, and Silverton.
Drive 2.6 miles to the intersection with Highway 99E and keep straight here on Highway 211 for Molalla.
Keep on Highway 211 for 11.4 miles and reach the junction with the Cascade Highway (Highway 213). Keep straight at this junction for Molalla and Estacada.
Drive another 1.4 miles to the four-way junction in the center of Molalla and keep straight for Colton, Estacada, and Sandy.
Go 0.3 miles and turn right onto S. Mathias Road for Feyrer Park and Dickey Prairie.
After another 0.3 miles, bend left onto S. Feyrer Park Road.
In 1.7 miles, just after passing Feyrer Park and crossing a bridge over the Molalla River, reach a T-junction and turn right on S. Dickey Prairie Road.
Drive 1.7 miles, and bear right on Dickey Prairie Road at the Dickey Prairie Store.
Go 3.7 miles along the river and make a sharp right to cross the Glen Avon Bridge and enter the Molalla River Recreation Corridor.
From the previous junction, bend left on the Molalla Forest Road after crossing the river, drive 11.0 miles, and keep left for the Table Rock Trailhead.
In another 1.5 miles, go left at a junction for the Table Rock Trailhead. The road is now gravel.
Drive up above the Middle Fork for 2.5 miles and make a sharp right onto Road 7-3E-7 for the Table Rock Trailhead.
After 1.9 miles, keep left at the junction with Quarry Road.
Drive another 0.7 miles and find a place to pull off by the side of the road.
See where the road crosses Image Creek, which flows through a culvert. Below this crossing, look up into the woods for the brown wilderness boundary post. Take a rough use trail that leads up past this post to join the Image Creek Trail, an old jeep road.
