Heckletooth Mountain is a summit in Lane County, Oregon, in the United States[2] with an elevation of 3,682 feet (1,122 m) NGVD 29.[1] It is located just north of the Willamette Highway (OR 58), in the Willamette National Forest.
Heckletooth Mountain was so named in the 1870s by a pioneer settler who likened the rocks about its jagged peak to the teeth of a hackle, a tool used to process flax.[3]
