Jones Creek Trailhead to Footbridge Trailhead, 7.2 miles there and back.http://www.portlandhikersfieldguide.org/wiki/Wilson_river_trail
When you pull this up on the Portland Hikers Field Guide, you will see "Section 4: Cedar Creek Section" which is what we did on this cool January day! It was just the right amount of hiking for us. The dogs did great as well, it is easy to moderate hiking, with several beautiful views of the river. You can pretty much see Highway 6 for most of the hike, but it doesn't take away as much as you would think. The only other people we saw on the trail were a forest service fella with a very sweet truck, and a solo fly fisher at the footbridge trailhead. The Wilson River trail itself is 22.6 miles, and it ranges from easy to difficult. There are places to camp at some of the stopping points, but they are marked campgrounds, with fees, etc. Often there are cheaper spots for foot/tent campers, in case you are on that kind of a program.
Man fly fishing across the river. You can access that shore by parking at the Footbridge Trailhead lot off HWY 6.
