Lets face it, McDonald-Dunn forest is generally not a very flat place. Beginner mountain bikers will have a hard time climbing up some of the steep roads and hills. Peavy Arboretum is a great place for families and beginners because there is Intensive-Management / Calloway Trail ; it is where I take all newbie mountain bikers friends. It's a well maintained (graveled in many places) non-technical single-track that forms a nice loop with interesting ecosystems. A fast biker will complete it in 30 mins, but beginners should plan on an hour or more. This is a multi-use area, and the trail is closed to bikers in winter/wet season.

Just visited Peavy Arboretum today. Had an excellent experience. I arrived early at 9am on a weekday, when there were few other visitors. Did the forest experience loop, and several short hikes through the area. Then I spotted the Section 36 loop trail and decided to go for a longer hike to the top of a small hill named Peavy Peak. The top of the hill is at 1200ft elevation, which means you're going to climb. The lovely vistas along the way up and down, as well as the supremely peaceful bench waiting for you at the top, make this more arduous hike very much worth it!

We absolutely treasure this place because it's beautiful, has great hikes, and has nice ponds with fish and newts. The arboretum has long-running studies of plants and trees and the public can benefit and find peace here. Lots to discover, never the same experience.

We had some time to spare near Albany and decided to go here for the afternoon. When we got there there is a place where they had free maps, beware that it is very confusing. Do not make the mistake of walking past the gate and waking up this long road to no where. The trails are behind you. When we finally figured that out then we enjoyed the stroll through the trees. Also, please note that the parking lot is small so not good for RVs to park there. We have a camper van and right when we were packing things up, we were approached by security and they "barked" at us and told us there was no overnight camping. Talk about rude!! And he said you better not be here when I come back. That left a really sour taste in my mouth.

We are not big on nature walks, but we sure enjoyed the quiet of the forest and pond for a 20 minute break from driving.

Peavy has lots of trails ranging from a few 100 feet to miles, lots of natural areas and some marked plant species. Nice for a short visit

Best trails for running and hiking. All levels of outdoor enthusiasts (parents with toddlers in tow to retired folks) will find a trail to explore nature.

A visit to the Peavy Arboretum was the focus of our time in Corvallis. We enjoyed the peaceful trails and the well marked trees as we made our way through the forest. The arboretum has a very fine collection of tree species from both the northwest as well as around the world. It is near the facilities for the OSU Department of Forestry's field work and seems very well tended. The trails and plants are well marked and just wild enough to keep the place from seeming like a city park.

Take a hike, sol walk and enjoy the beauty of a well designed Arboretum. Make it an educational one to lear how to identify the trees around you.

Great trails for all families with dogs or without. Many trails to choose from...long up hill trails, or short ones that over look a small pond.

Yes, dogs are allowed. The area is home to a variety of hiking biking and horse trails so be on alert if your dog does not behave well around large animals.
