This shady county park along Little Joe Creek and the Barlow Trail has interpretive signs that introduce the hiker to some of the human and natural history of the area. You can do the Barlow Wayside trails in combination with a longer hike in the Mt. Hood area, or hike it along with other short excursions, such as the Castle Canyon Hike or Cascade Streamwatch Loop Hike . The park hosts an annual Mountain Boomer Day each February 2nd on which a resident boomer (mountain beaver) is cajoled into showing its shadow (or not).
