Roaring River Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Mount Hood National Forest, Oregon.
The Roaring River Wilderness encompasses 36,550 acres of forested land with diverse ecosystems, clear rivers, and dense old-growth forests supporting multiple wildlife species.
In 2009, the United States Congress designated this area as protected wilderness through Public Law 111-11, adding it to the National Wilderness Preservation System.
The wilderness maintains five main trails, including Shining Lake and Shellrock Lake paths, which were previously used for mountain biking before wilderness designation.
Visitors need to prepare for primitive camping experiences without modern amenities and bring both digital and paper maps for navigation through the remote terrain.
The Roaring River flows through the area, providing essential spawning grounds for salmon and steelhead, while supporting bears, cougars, and spotted owls in surrounding forests.
