Review:          

Ferry Springs is a lightly traveled loop trail that starts from the Lower Deschutes campground. The trail turns from the railroad bed and begins to climb the hill toward Ferry Spring. Because of the increased elevation from the standard trials the views are much more vast and sweeping. The Trail crosses Ferry springs and slowly meanders back down to the railroad bed and allows you to then connect to the Deschutes River Trail, the River View Trail or the Blackberry Trail. This is an easy loop to complete if you are staying in the campground or just want a nice short hike with some great views of the Deschutes and Columbia Rivers.
