Oneonta Trail (#424)

Oneonta Trail is the most demanding trail of the three direct routes up Larch Mountain, due to a steep grade. Triple Falls, found 1.7 miles into the trail, is one of the biggest draws of this hike.

With waterfalls, steep creek-weathered basalt cliffs, and good camping spots, Oneonta Trail has many great elements for an overnight trip. Please consult a good, up-to-date map when planning your hike.

This trail is within Mark O Hatfield Wilderness from Horsetail Falls Trail #438 to Multnomah Creek Way #444, which means bikes are prohibited and additional Wilderness restrictions apply. Mountain biking is only allowed between the summit of Larch Mountain until the Wilderness boundary at Multnomah Creek Way Trail #444.

Oneonta Trail ends at Larch Mountain Road 0.3 miles south of Larch Mountain Picnic Area. For one of the most far-ranging views in the Columbia River Gorge, continue from Larch Mountain parking for another 0.3 miles along a trail that leads to Sherrard Point.
