The Space
Trout Creek Wilderness Lodge is hidden away in an old-growth rain forest where Bear, Salmon and Eagle call home and the creek meets the Molalla River.
Lodging options include tucked away cabins overlooking the creek, futuristic forest dwellings ("Jupes"), bell tents, and custom crafted tiny homes. All participants will have access to the cozy communal lodge with dining and outdoor areas, a fire pit, showers, a stunning wood deck overlooking the river, a newly built cedar bath house next to the river with cedar hot tub, cold plunge claw foot tub and sauna, a river beach, a pristine swimming hole where the creek flows into the river and the salmon breed, and of course, wild forest trails right out your front door.
The Wild
Trees include Douglas fir, pine, hemlock, maple, alder, birch, and yew. The canopy of trees houses Oregon grape, several types of fern, huckleberry, strawberry, and blackberry. The land is also home to many generations of wild life including brown bear, whitetail deer, mountain lion, bobcat, elk, beaver, otter, owls, woodpeckers, osprey, cranes, bluejays, bald eagles, heron and robin. The Molalla is also home to salmon (chinook and sockeye), rainbow trout, steelhead, and crawfish.
Food Alchemy Workshop with Julie-Roxane
Connect with our French chef Julie-Roxane around the kitchen stove for a community experience of tending the earth and connecting to the food that makes us. A true lover of food as sentient material, Julie-Roxane’s perspective on nourishment is a wild revelation for most and a transmission of alchemy for all.

Travel insurance
There are two main reasons we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your trip: 1) Travel insurance provides financial protection in the event you must cancel due to personal injury or illness including COVID-19, unexpected scheduling conflicts, the health or death of loved ones, job changes, and other reasons. Cancellations are a lose-lose-lose situation: for you, for us, and for the group (which will miss out on your wildness).
2) Travel insurance provides supplementary medical insurance in the case you are injured or become ill during your trip.
We strongly encourage that you purchase travel insurance, especially if you must fly to the trip location and we require you to have travel insurance that includes coverage for medical emergency for Wild Within trips conducted outside the U.S. Here’s a few travel insurance companies where you can purchase travel insurance for your trip:
