I’ve trained on this paved trail for years! It’s well maintained, safe, and doesn’t have crazy elevation. The pedestrian 205 bridge is the most challenging uphill, but it’s also good elevation practice without taking up too much of the path. Intersections are hit or miss, but the gaps in between are still good stretches of trail. A great urban trail if you live around here.
Came to do a long run. Couldn’t finish because the hills are so intense. But, it’s a beautiful trail and well maintained!
A sunny Saturday but only one other person on this trail full of historical markers about the Tigard/Tualatin area.
Beautiful Day, beautiful trail. The second section now goes 1.5 miles past the Viento Creek campground and ranger station.
Since the city cleaned up following Covid, this a really lovely and quiet trail. Please visit and use it to keep it beautiful and clean!
this is a safe and vital crossing dedicated for pedestrians and bicyclists underneath the busy congested car lanes
If you're traveling from Beaverton to Portland, this is the best way to do it if you're on a bike. After the bike path ends, you can take a short side road to the Oregon Zoo.
This is an easy paved path with both up hills and down hills, some straight stretches, some curvy parts as it follow some large power lines in a north-south swath through the neighborhoods. There's one section where you have to get off the trail and go about a quarter mile through traffic and a busy intersection to connect and continue the trail on the other side of Highway 26 (Sunset) so if you have small kids with you, consider only doing the north half or the south half. There are several street crossings and many parks and connecting trails to other destinations.
Awesome, tall native grasses and flowers everywhere ever great landscaping along the industrial section and of course the mighty Columbia river and abundant wild life.
On a beautiful mid-May day I set off with a group of four experienced road cyclist but gravel newbies all around age 60. Two of us were riding Pedigo Avenue electrics and two traditional borrowed mountain bikes. The trail alternates between smooth gravel/grass to large rocks, ruts, mud, gates and kind of a hiking trail feel. We made it to Klickitat for lunch but the traditional cyclist were tired and wanted to turn back.
The trail is much rougher than typical rail-to-trails I've been on (Crown Zellerbach, Banks-Vernonia, Olympic Discovery), but I loved the challenge, getting rattled, dealing with cows and poop, but especially the beautiful river views. Can't wait to go back and do the whole trail.
It's paved, it's short but sweet, keep in mind that the railroad IS active (not super active, I didn't see any trains on my particular trip), so use caution at crossings. It's within Battle Ground State Park. I went on a fall day and was tickled (and slightly saddened) to see a bunch of uneaten apples that had fallen off the trees in the area; hopefully some of the local wildlife got some tasty snacks out of them.
