Wygant State Natural Area, State natural area in Columbia River Gorge, Oregon, US
The Wygant Trail extends for 8 miles through dense forest terrain, gaining 2,300 feet in elevation along the Columbia River Gorge.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed the trailhead and paths within Wygant State Natural Area during the 1930s, establishing recreational access to this wilderness.
The park bears the names of Theodore and Margaret Wygant, pioneers who traveled the Oregon Trail and contributed to the region's development.
Visitors can access two primary trails from Mitchell Point Trailhead, with dogs permitted on leashes no longer than 6 feet in length.
The first mile of the trail follows an abandoned section of highway, still displaying its original yellow divider stripe from over fifty years ago.
