For an even more out-of-the-way excursion, drive south across the creek on the highway, then turn west on Lone Mountain Road and north on Naue Way, and you'll come to Rough and Ready Creek Preserve (owned by the Southern Oregon Land Conservancy), where there are a few rough trails through the woods. Continuing west and past some houses, you'll come to some small logging roads than can take you down to the creek's floodplain on U.S. Forest Service land.
