Lacamas Heritage Trailhead — Attraction in Camas

Easy trail. It's well maintained with nil elevation gain. It might be a good pick for outdoor wheelchair hikes or first time hikes with little ones and stroller friendly.

The trail is set with just a bit of gravel so I'd imagine it doesn't get overwhelmingly sloppy during wetter months, though I haven't tried the trail yet at those times.

Lots of flora along the trail of different varieties. Wild berries feed the wildlife. There's lots of birds. The water view is also nice. You see the water gathering into the lake as you further along. Raised bridges make crossing over the waterways comfortable and gives a top down view of the marshes. We even saw three deer on the trail during late afternoon. It was a nice decompression. But there were mosquitoes and yellow jackets along as well, so depending on the time of year and day consider bug repellent for the blood suckers if you are sensitive. The yellow jackets weren't too aggressive but there were more than a few around because of the wild blackberries.

All in all it was a great experience and our family will definitely be circling back to do this trail again soon. The sign says 3.5...
