Mosier Waterfront Walk
[45 mins / 2 miles]
The riverfront walk is just a few blocks from the main street of downtown Mosier.
From the bus stop head west towards the town then turn left on Rock Creek Rd.. Follow 500 yards to the gravel parking entrance of Rock Creek park then under the railroad overpass into the park.
Here you have two options:
1. Go straight north, under the freeway to the beach. The path continues right along the river. The trail then turns right under the second overpass and South towards the town.
2. At the parking lot, turn right onto the path that leads East to the Harmony Lake loop.
Either way leads to interesting views and a fun walk.
Mosier Plateau
[1 hour 15 mins / 3 miles round trip ]
From the bus stop at Pocket Park, follow Main Street (1st Street) east for .5 miles to the Plateau trailhead just across the bridge from town.
