Trail is an "All-Season" recreational area, located near Shady Cove, upper Rogue River area of Southern Oregon.
 
Native Americans en route to Klamath Lake from the north followed a trail over the Umpqua Divide, stopping at the site of the present day Trail and giving the town its name.
 
Trail's population is between 1,400 and 1,900.(appox). This is seemingly misleading due to the vast area it encompasses from Crowfoot Road to the Douglas County Line on Highway 227, and all of the Lost Creek Lake area. The region, located 10 miles north of Shady Cove is becoming increasingly well known for its history, and as a recreational destination for outdoor enthusiasts.

Trail is home to the Upper Rogue Historical Society's Trail Creek Museum, devoted to the pioneer history of the region. The former tavern features artifacts, pictures, and stories depicting life as it was on the Upper Rogue in the beginning and very early years of settlement.
 
Many activities include: Fishing, Rafting, Boating, Water Skiing, World Class Golf, Hiking, Biking, Camping, Hunting, Equestrian Trails, Off Highway Vehicle Trails, Cross - Country Skiing, and Snowmobiling and of course the Trail Creek Tavern & Museum.
 
The Cole M. Rivers Fish Hatchery, the largest hatchery in Oregon, annually rears 3.7 million spring Chinook, Coho, Steelhead and Rainbow Trout.
 
McGregor Park, on the way to the hatchery, features a Welcome Center and is a good place to learn about Lost Creek Lake. A beautiful park setting with playground and picnic and barbecue areas, McGregor Park is conveniently located adjacent to the Rogue River with wheelchair access for fishing. Walking paths follow along a flowing creek.
