Great place close to town to take a gentle hike. Well kept trails and our dog loves the off leash trail section.

An excellent place to go hiking!

Paved trail that has great views of the foothills and the valley. Trash cans spread along the paved trail. Several benches along the way to rest including at the top of the hill.The dirt trail that leads up to the top of Bald Hill should be hiked with caution when wet, due to how slick the path can get. Always enjoy walking there!

Paved path is great in winter with about three miles there and back. When its dry enough, the hike up to the top also quite lovely.

Beautiful trail. Walked to top of the hill, great cardio + amazing views.

Great place for a small hike through an old oak grove! An amazing view of Marys Peak at the top with a few old growth oaks for climbing (if youre into that sort of thing) Locals are a hit or miss; some are friendly, some are very cold. Great place to bring your dog or kiddo, and several trails to choose from. Either way, very easy hike with rewarding views.

Great area for a walk or short hike up to the top of the hill. There are several different paths you can take so its a slightly different hike each time you go.

It was very beautiful. There were multiple paths to walk, hike or ride. Loved it!

Beautiful trail network. Main trails are paved as well. Great place for walking, running, & cycling.

The view was amazing. The slopes were mostly gentle and great for leisure strolls

Great mix of paved and natural paths with a little bit of elevation if you want to make it a workout.

What a nice place to spend some quality time with your fur baby.

Family friendly paved trail. Good for strollers, walking, running, bikes, and scooters. The out and back trail is 1.5 miles from parking lot to parking lot for a total length of 3 miles. There are also various unpaved trails to explore too.

Beautiful area with lots to explore. Only gave it 4 stars because the directions take you to someone’s house, not the trailhead.

Its a great place to go for walk, run or a hike. I enjoy the trails, I mainly come here for my runs. People are courteous, and a friendly reminder, make sure that if youre running or riding your bike, be courteous enough to notify the people for your own safety and theirs.

One of the best places to hike. Local and easy to get to. Good parking.

I love the Bald Hill area! There are lots of trails around and several access points, such as Oaks, Reservoir Rd, and the Fairgrounds. The area is beautiful at all seasons, and there is a lovely view of Corvallis from the top with some benches to sit. There are horse trails and off leash areas too.

This is one of my favorite public recreation areas in Corvallis. There is everything fromeasy paved trails to horse trails to mountain biking trails. The views from the top are amazing. Sadly, I stayed on the easy trails this time and dont have a photo from the top. Its pet friendly and has lots of places to deposit poo bags.

Awesome hiking area with a great view at the top of the hill

Im glad this place is not a housing development and that people in Corvallis value open spaces like this... Over all though kinda bland but good to get out so close to Corvallis... The murkey Creek trail is a good addition and I hope to see more in years to come...

Quick hike that is good for walking dogs. Broad views of the valley, Marys Peak, and OSU campus. There trails connect to Fitton Green to the north, another excellent hiking location.

Great hike for near/in town.

Watched the rain roll in for a little summer soak. Awesome

Beautiful home to the top.

Beautiful. There arent very many natural areas around here. I go hiking or running here maybe 10 times a year. It is always clean and the people are friendly. Not too crowded. Good for dogs and kids.

Wonderful hikeing trails, bike and equestrian friendly, and a trip to the top is even doable for the elderly.

Great place to go walking or biking could be more dog friendly tho left the worst part of the park as the dog area. Its a mud pit unless its summer.

Easily accessible from three different parking lots, as well as being walking distance from campus. The trail system even connects to fitton green and beyond. Great views from the top and just generally good for multi-use recreation.

I love love love this space. Ample parking at trail heads. Paved trail for walking, running, bikes, strollers and wheelchairs. There is a port-a-potty along the paved trail. There are unpaved trails as well for those wanting to hike to the top of the hill. Stunning views from all areas!

Beware of Cougars! That is my only complaint as I saw one on one of my runs. Otherwise a great place. Read the signs, if there is a cougar warning, do not take your kids off the main paved trail. Not the easiest hike, but far from the hardest, and the views at the top are rewarding. Allow 60-90 minutes from the trailhead to the summit and back. Great to have a nice natural area so close to Corvallis!

Beautiful multi-use path, and the path to the top is nice too, great view.

Always a nice walk/hike. Close to town but feels like the forest.

Easy walk for kids and beautiful

Very nice. Just need to be in better shape to enjoy it more

I spent Saturday morning hiking up to the top accompanied by my dog! There were a lot of people having a great time in the sunshine today, runners, dogs, and bikers. It made for a gorgeous morning!

Great place to visit. There are hiking trails and biking trails all over the place. This is a beautiful secluded area in Corvallis for anyone who likes to take extended strolls outside. My son and I just volunteered to count wild turkeys there with Oregon Green Trust. This is definitely one of the jewels here in Corvallis.

Great place for a lovely walk in nature.

Loved it! Great easy walk, if wanted, however you can challenge yourself and take the path up the hill. It is a climb and muddy... bring climbing boots.

Beautiful place for an evening stroll or a nice short hike through the woods!

Very enjoyable hike with several paths, it can be pretty steep on certain ones. Very nice views at the top!Also fun for mountain biking, but be careful of other hikers and doggos

Pretty good walking paths and trails alike,Bald Hill offers multiple elevations, and restroom on east side of the hill.Oak Creek or Reservoir Rd accessible.

Easy quick hike. All the trails connect so its impossible to get lost. The first trail you encounter from the parking lot (by the fairgrounds) is pretty steep but doesnt take long to complete.

Crowded on the weekends....parking lot on Oak Creek Dr. Is too small and way too crowded to be usable on the weekend. No porta potties for a me or so up Midge Cramer (ideally, should be at the entrances to the park). Beautiful walk though and a lot of wild life to see.

Good place to take a walk with opportunity to ascend to the top of Bald Hill (highly recommended). There are three parking areas to access Bald Hill. The Benton County Fairgrounds to the East, the NW Oak St. access, and the SW Reservoir Ave access.All 3 are connected by a paved walkway that leads to the base of Bald Hill. The walkway is multiuse; bicycles are frequently using the path, too. Keep your ears and eyes out for them. There are various trails that connect to the walkway which allows for a nice walk depending upon what you want to do. You can walk partly around the base, or even walk from SW Reservoir to NW Oak street and back. There is an old barn at the Northeast base of the hill. There is an off leash dog area hat is marked near the barn. A portable toilet is located there as well.A trip to the summit is not difficult and doesnt take very long. The West side of the hill near the top has a bench with a great view of Marys Peak and the Fitton Green Ridge. There is also a bench at the summit near the summit marker that gives a decent view to the Southeast.An important note: Stay on the trails. Private property surrounds the entire area, and in a number of places, the trail crosses a portion of said property. The property owners granted an easement to the county for all to enjoy, so the rules are pretty simple...leave no trace and stay on the trail.

We walk here often. A great place to exercise and get outside. There are many paths to take and explore.

Nice walking paths. Scenery ok

Clean, well maintained trails. Nice view from top

Amazing treasure on the edge of corvallis, perfect for hiking or mountain biking. Trails can be rough so bring sturdy shoes and water if you are headed for the top, perhaps a blanket and snacks for when you get there. Great view.

Safe area to go on a hike with the family or pets. Pets must be on a leash at all times.

Awesome view after a short hike

Its an easy, pretty hike close to town with beautiful views from the top

Beautiful quiet area!

This hike was so beautiful! The trail was pretty muddy this time of year so be prepared with some hiking shoes that wont soak through. But the view from the top was so worth it!

Great hiking area. Has multiple hiking trails and a paved multipurpose trail. The picture is from the top of bald hill!

Great place for a daily walk

Very relaxing and a awesome walk.

A really simple/quick hike that is pretty manageable but with opportunities to take more difficult trails. I enjoyed it and the view is really nice. Benches are provided at the top for those who want to catch their breath and take in the view.

I couldnt find a trail at this location so I went to the other trail head

Great natural area with decent hills and close to town.

Had a wonderful hike with our golden retriever off leash until running into a fearful, know-it-all woman who tried to protect her aged dogs from ours??? No aggressiveness came from any of the dogs, just the woman!

Great hike! The view is great from the top of the hill. The paths/trails are well marked. Theres a trail for everyone, paved, dirt, or gravel.

Always a nice spot to run and enjoy the scenery and views

Beautiful trails. The view from the top is best at sunset

One of my favorite places to go on a bike ride! Would definitely recommend walking here with your pets!

Beautiful views of Corvallis and surrounding valley. Lots of different trails.Cool old barn to rest at. Off leash dog park too.

Its a lovely place with a lovely view but it turns out its not near as bald as you might think. Is your name going to be associated. Plenty of benches on top, A little muddy but worth it.

A sprawling countryside feel, while enjoying paved and non-paved trails. Bicyclists, leashed dogs, skaters. Families enjoy outing with parents and grandparents. There are birds and wildlife to be seen, trails are well marked and connected. One of my favorite places to enjoy massive fresh air, some shade and sunshine. Parking can be a concern, there are 2 on either sides. Porta potties available, usually kept very clean , offering sanitizer also.

Trails are marked well and mapped. Great options: paved or rough surfaces, short or long loops (around 5 miles), flat courses or steady climb to the hill top (maybe 400 of vert). Tough to get lost if you familiarize yourself with the trail map and watch the signs. My favorite place for a moderate run when were visiting the area.

One of my familys favorite places for long walks and bike rides for years. Very nice people there dogs are allowed on leashes friendly traffic Lots of nice nature to observe. The trails are manicured for the most part, and you can go on a long walk without getting your feet muddy, or choose to go through the woods risking the attack of mud but having a great time also.

Well taken care of.

Beautiful place to go for a walk. Its an easy walk for a person with a stroller.

Well maintained paths. Great off leash area for dogs to run around and have fun, with other areas for hiking, etc. Lots of wildlife. Good place to get away from it all for an afternoon.

A little muddy right now but that is totally expected this time of year

This place has a lot of trail options that are easy enough you could do with a kid or longer options for seasoned hikers

Great hiking, beautiful view at the top!

Bald Hill is my favorite thing about living in SW Corvallis. Its like the ultimate back yard.

Closed as of Sept 17

Easy day trip.

Great hiking location, in a relatively central part of Corvallis being right behind the fairgrounds. Bike paths stretch all the way from campus to the base of bald hill. A plethora of different trails to chose from, all with different grade and technicality. Some are great for hiking, or riding horses (people actually do this here), and some are great for an easy hike. A scenic open barn-structure rests near the base of the hill and works well for table picnics or other activities. There are several bench-kiosks assuring you wont get lost, and several benches at the top as well. Visibility from the top is nice, however there is only a view of the western mountain range. For a much better view I recommend the nearby Dimple Hill of the MacDonald Forest. All of Corvallis is visible from this one.

Great hike to get lost in but lots of poison oak in the summertime. Be careful hiking in the woodsy areas

Mild hike, great for children and pet friendly.

Gorgeous park with a few muddy spots on trails. Lots of dogs off leash running around and relatively busy. Good luck finding an actual trail map onlinr

Best hiking course in corvallis

Nice walk with black berry browsing!

Found this place by accident but am glad I did! My family loves hiking here. Such a beautiful view from the top too!!!

Wonderful little hike.

Many different hiking paths for multiple levels of athleticism or distance. Well maintained trails, especially considering how much rainfall we get. Horse trails for those who like to trail ride. Some off-leash areas for dogs.

Trails could be better maintained, but all in all theyre quite enjoyable as long as you watch your feet.

Such a nice area to clear your head.

Nature trail, dog friendly.

Great for exercise. Easy or hard.

This is a beautiful place to go for a walk. I like to go on my lunch break.

A bit of nature right next to town. Hiking & biking trails w/access from three different trailheads. And the trail to Fitton Green really opens up possibilitys.

The trails are still dry and beautiful. I love to go to this area for a good hilly workout.

Nice trails with a choice of making your walk easy or harder

Went to sit on Dr. williams bench, beautiful sunny day great view, parking lot packed.

Beautiful spot great place to stretch your legs.

I love the beautiful open fields at the base of Bald Hill.

Good solid oaths, with a few hills. Lots of people, so not the best place if you werent looking to run into a lot of people.

A wonderful natural area. Parking is a little limited, best to get there early in the morning. There is a handicapped accessible paved path. Restrooms available.
