Description

Lower Table Rock and its twin, Upper Table Rock, rise 800 feet above the Rogue River Valley. These mesas are flat-topped remnants of lava flows that filled the canyons of the ancient Rogue River over seven million years ago. Atop the Table Rocks you will find a mixture of grassy mounds, stony flats and vernal ponds, as well as an excellent display of early spring wildflowers.

For more information, visit The Nature Conservancy or the Bureau of Land Management.

Directions

From Interstate 5, take Exit 33 in Medford and head east on Biddle Road for about 0.8 miles. Turn left onto Table Rock Road and travel 7.7 miles to Wheeler Road, following signs to the trailhead. Turn left onto Wheeler Road, and in 0.8 miles you will see the parking lot on your left.

NOTE: Dogs are not allowed in order to prevent the disturbance of ground nesting birds and other animals.
