The trailhead for the Trout Creek Hiking Trail is one of many hiking trails accessible from the Over the River and through the Woods Scenic Byway on the south Santiam River in Oregon.

It ascends from an elevation of 1,300 to 3,567 feet. The trail can be hiked year round. It's located in Menagerie Wilderness, the name of which is derived from the interesting rock formations found within.
