Milo McIver State Park, Estacada OR
Apr 18 2004

Sunday, April 18, is the date for orienteering at McIver State Park near Estacada, OR. Course setter, Mal Harding, will spend the winter plotting white, yellow, orange, green, and maybe even red courses. We were at McIver last year in February when the leaves are off the trees, the stinging nettles and other forest plants are down, and it’s as open as it will ever be. This year, however, the underbrush will be a little thicker, so if you plan to tackle intermediate- or advanced-level courses, dress appropriately.

Directions: Take Interstate 205 to the Clackamas exit (Highway 224). Follow Highway 224 east to Carver. At Carver turn right and go across the Clackamas River,then turn left and follow Springwater Road approximately 15 miles to McIver Park. There is a $3 per vehicle fee to enter the state park. Once in the park, follow the "O" signs to the start.
