A mere 15-minute drive west from Eagle Point, Table Rocks unveils an awe-inspiring hiking trail that unfolds breathtaking panoramas of the Upper and Lower Table Rocks.

What can you expect to see at the Upper and Lower Table Rocks?

Immerse yourself in the truly spectacular views that offer a glimpse into our ancient geologic history. Towering over 800 feet within the Rogue River Valley (2,000 feet above sea level), these rocks stand as remnants of lava flows that surged through the canyon seven million years ago. Today, ecosystems thrive in the niches of these majestic formations, offering a home to diverse plants and wildlife. Table Rocks stands as a living testament to the interplay of time, geology, and the dynamic harmony of nature.

Opt for the Upper Table Rock trail, a 1.25-mile ascent climbing 720 feet to the summit. During the enchanting months of March to May and September to October, witness a kaleidoscope of wildflowers in full bloom. Capture memorable snapshots of iconic landmarks like Mount McLoughlin, Mount Ashland, Roxy Ann Peak, and Pilot Rock.

Alternatively, the Lower Table Rock Trail presents a less steep 1.75-mile journey to the top of a 780-foot plateau. Take your time to explore interpretive panels along the trail, delving into the rich tapestry of the area’s history, flora, and fauna.
