The other reviewer summed this wonderful park up perfectly. Bald Hill is by far one of my favorite places to spend a nice afternoon. The trails are paved, and there are numerous paths to choose from, which means that there are avid bikers and walkers alike. I would highly adivse this for a nice, easy, and scenic walk.

Just outside Corvallis is Bald Hill which is a nice little hike.
If I am driving or biking I like to park on or near 35th St. and walk Campus Way out to 53rd St. which walks through the Irish Bend Covered Bridge. From 53rd Bald Hill is right in front of you and has a nice view of Corvallis when you get to the top. There are benches to sit at and enjoy the view or a picnic!
Here is how to get there:
On the far west side of town. The multi-modal path leading into the park may be accessed from 3 locations: a path next to the Benton County Fairgrounds, behind the gate off of Oak Creek Rd, and at an entrance off of Reservoir Rd.
