Hamm Road Loop

The Cottage Grove-Lorane Road was recently repaved, which provides smooth riding and wide shoulders. Low-traffic Sears Road (which makes up over one-third of the route miles) provides a quick shot from Creswell to Cottage Grove paralleling I-5.

This route winds through conifer forests, clear-cut areas and agricultural lands, as well as the towns of Creswell and Cottage Grove. The wildlife viewing potential is large, as birds and small mammals abound along the rural sections of the route.

Note: This bike route is part of the proposed Southern Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway, along with the Northern Leg, Wolf Creek Loop and Dorena Lake Loop routes on this site.
