Great trail- insane hills

October, 2024 by coltinhill2

Came to do a long run. Couldn’t finish because the hills are so intense. But, it’s a beautiful trail and well maintained!

Burnt Bridge Creek Trail

what a great ride

October, 2024 by vqwq5tkbmr

A perfect autumn day on a wonderful trail. Beautiful paved, 15 mile round-trip trail. It had a small homeless camp in a small cluster, but nothing scary. Felt completely safe, and the rest of the trail was spotlessly clean and well maintained by the City of Vancouver. Old growth forest, ferns and so much more!! Don’t miss this ride - it was wonderful.!!

Tigard Heritage Trail

A sunny Saturday but only one other person on this trail full of historical markers about the Tigard/Tualatin area.

Banks-Vernonia State Trail

Looks like they've worked on the trail

September, 2024 by gretchbr

Some of the complaints about the trail from earlier in the year seem to have been resolved. There are new approaches to some of the bridges and attempts made to partially fill the worst of the cracking in the pavement. Bumps and dips are well-marked, so often avoidable if you're paying attention. So thanks to whoever is doing this good work! A tree across the path on our way to Vernonia was - surprisingly - completely cleared by the time we biked back, so someone is paying attention! Great ride!

Banks-Vernonia State Trail

Nice

August, 2024 by swvn2cp6ym

There were definitely some areas that needed over due maintenance. Over all it was an enjoyable ride. Did the whole length both ways

Peninsula Crossing Trail

Really lovely city trail

August, 2024 by destiniedavis

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!

Steel Bridge Riverwalk

this is a safe and vital crossing dedicated for pedestrians and bicyclists underneath the busy congested car lanes

Highway 26 Bike Path

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.

Waterhouse Trail

Rolling paved hills following power lines

June, 2024 by davidc5

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.

Pacific Way Trail

Behind our house

May, 2024 by bt9d499bs5

We walk and bike this trail often. Made a 15 mile loop by riding the trail and then riding around Lake Sacajawea. You see ducks, turtles, herons, and nutrias.

Banks-Vernonia State Trail

Falling into disrepair

March, 2024 by daywood

I love that this trail is here and I ride it often, but the section between Manning and Buxton is becoming unpleasant to ride because of neglected upkeep. As has been noted in other reviews, the bridge transitions are dangerous if you are unaware and hit them at speed (which is likely on the steep downhill run below Buxton). Also in that area, tree roots have pushed the asphalt into ridges big enough to unseat you or to bounce your chain off. Many of these are hard to see in shady areas. There’s a section just above the Manning trailhead where the asphalt has been torn up and heavily grooved for years. I recently met a rider in that area pushing his bike back to the Manning car park with a shredded road tire. I am sure money is tight. Although I want to see new trails built, I would not want it to result in neglecting to maintain this regional gem of a trail, particularly the heavily used lower half of it.

Banks-Vernonia State Trail

One of the Best Rides of Our Lives

March, 2024 by greggssystem

We moved from Bellevue (Omaha) Nebraska 3 years ago and we loved riding our bikes on the Papio Creek 20+ mile trail. However this ride is one for the “record books”. It’s got to be one of the most scenic rides in America and worth the one-hour drive from our home north of Vancouver Washington. This is a “must be there” ride!
