My wife and I were concerned about the reviews that we read about this trail regarding the pavement being in poor shape.
We rode from Banks to the State Park (cannot remember the name of it). The state park is about 10 miles into the trail from Banks.
Most of the trail was in decent shape. There are roots that have elevated the pavement to make bumps, but they are mostly avoidable.
There is one section where the trail is in really rough shape. It was even bumpy on a mountain bike. But still very rideable.
We did see several people on thin tired road bikes. So it does not scare everyone away.
I personally would not ride it on a road bike.
From mile 5 to 10 it is a steady up hill grade. We were able to average 6 mph on this section without a lot of effort.
Coming back was very fast. I hit 21 mph at one point.
Overall it was an enjoyable ride. I would ride this trail again if I was in this area again.
This well maintained path from nowhere to nowhere seemed like a commuters pathway. It is not scenic and follows the high voltage power lines mostly. A couple of parks along the way and two LARGE homeless camps.
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 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.!!
A sunny Saturday but only one other person on this trail full of historical markers about the Tigard/Tualatin area.
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!
Beautiful Day, beautiful trail. The second section now goes 1.5 miles past the Viento Creek campground and ranger station.
There were definitely some areas that needed over due maintenance. Over all it was an enjoyable ride. Did the whole length both ways
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
