Sisters Mountain Bike Trail (Peterson Ridge Trail)

The Sisters Ranger District has approved the proposed expansion of the current Sisters Mountain Bike Trail.  When completed, the new trail systemwill consist of nearly 30 miles of trails in a stacked loop system along the same corridor as the existing trail. The proposed trails will separate mountain bikes and equestrian use, while still providing opportunity for both in the area. Several miles of trails have been constructed and are getting great reviews and lots of use, mostly in the Eagle Rock area near Sisters. Come check out the new trails!

Sisters Poker Run

The 5th Annual Sisters Poker Run will be held on Sunday, October 19th. The run will utilize approximately 34 miles of the Sisters Trails system.  This years course will utilize the Peterson Ridge Trail, Metolius Windigo Trail, and the Metolius Windigo Connector Trail along the west side of Whychus Creek.
