Table Rock Wilderness

Table Rock Wilderness is a five thousand five hundred-acre protected area in northwestern Oregon's western Cascades, designated in 1984 to preserve forest in the historic Molalla River-Pudding River drainage basin. On Bureau of Land Management land, it differs from many nearby wilderness areas associated with Mount Hood National Forest. Its rugged terrain rises to Table Rock at 4,881 feet, known for columnar basalt and expansive views. Old-growth Douglas fir, western hemlock, noble fir, rhododendron, berry patches, endangered plants, and pikas make it ecologically significant. Trails lead into the area, including Table Rock Trail, which follows part of an older Native American cross-Cascades route, and archaeological sites with petroglyphs have been found there.
