Oregon Barlow trail

[StG58]

Trying to piece together the old Barlow Trail for a run from The Dalles to Oregon City.

Anyone have any guidance on this?

The portion from Wamic to the west (FS-3530) is well documented in several places, but The Dalles to Wamic isn't, and the portion from US-35 (White River area) to Oregon City via the Clackamas river isn't either.

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you referring to Dallas, Oregon or “The Dalles”. Couldn’t tell by the way it’s spelled. Might be able to help you out as I have tons of maps and data from FS work.

Sorry, The Dalles. Autocorrect isn't my friend, it seems.

Okay I’ll take a look in the office today and see if I can pull up a map of the trail system there!

Are you looking for info on the yellow road of this map?

I think so. That may be just a hair east though. Let me compare that to what I have for cartography. Is that 197? That may be as close as I can get.

I'm seeing a gate on the west end of Barlow road at Barlow pass on 35. Is that seasonal, do you know? Or did the road get shut down?

Nope, 197 is it! Approximately. Runs through Dufur to Tygh Valley. Maybe I can refine it with a little research. Thanks @BuildBreakRepeat!

I have family that lives in Tygh Valley just out of Dufur. They grow alfalfa.

Lots of history in that neck of the woods. This will be the first time to go poking around over there. Usually we just pass through on our way to someplace else.

Family have been there a very very long time. They have elk that come down into their alfalfa fields now and then. A hunters dream to see elk in a field.

Wish I could share the entire digital map of all the roads in that area with you - I took a picture for reference if it helps but you should be able to find the right one on here.

I think that road is seasonal, and you are correct on 197

My mistake....The Family lives in Dufur Valley.
