If you like to walk through groves of ancient trees, see a diversity of wildlife habitat, and enjoy a great workout then Lower London Peak Trail is for you. By the time you've completed this two mile hike, you will increase/decrease in elevation by over 1,400 feet. Interpretive signs are being installed and will provide an opportunity to rest while learning about the area. In October of 1998, London Peak Overlook Accessible Trail was dedicated. Just 20 minutes from the I-5 corridor, this ½ mile barrier free trail (rated moderately difficult for wheel-chair accessibility) meanders along a forested ridge line to the London Peak Overlook, offering spectacular views of the Rogue/Umpqua Divide, the Wolf Creek Canyon, and the historic Applegate Trail.

London Peak is named after the famous American author Jack London who stayed at the Wolf Creek Inn, which is located in the community of Wolf Creek (also visible from the overlook).
