Rode in from Banks, Oregon 13 miles on the trail and then returned to starting point. Beautiful trail and marked pretty well for the few roots and potholes needing repair. We did see a young cougar on the trail, but he/she jumped into the tree growth when we made noise. Great ride and beautiful weather!
This paved path is in two sections, separated by a commercial road with a bike lane only on the west-bound side of the road. The pavement has a lot of bumps where tree roots have pushed sections up, making it quite bumpy. Otherwise, it's nice to ride along viewing the Columbia River, the beach, and seeing friendly people and dogs; the path is wide enough the entire stretch for everyone but it is busier the closer you get to Vancouver city center.
Significant improvements to marking hazards (like dips, bumps and breaks in the pavement are painted with warning as to what is coming. You still have to slow through some sections. Vernonia to canyon section still has some issues with bridge/ trail transitions but effort to lessen the drop off or jumps up to bridge surface greatly improved. As I ride recumbent tadpole trike I found the switch backs In an out of the canyon require a slow approach and a watchful eye for rider coming g down at you. Some of the corner took the complete width of the trail to get around on the trike. I suspect a tandem would require getting off the trike to reposition the trike. The section from Stan Strward State park down to Buctonis by far the best pavement on the entire route. Particularly the section as you come off the hill foow. Intonation. Which has been reps ex .
This is such a beautiful place to spend the day at, so many trails to explore the depths of this place is just mind blowing. I have been riding it for the past 3 weekends and still haven't explored it all.
For the skaters out there, some parts are smooth some parts are not. Unless you are a more advanced skater with super squishy wheels, its not the best.
Lots of people and dogs out on this spring day enjoying the sun and fresh air. The streets are well-marked, every major road crossing has lights for pedestrians. Large trees, several parks, beautiful path!
I had just come from downtown and was wondering how far the path on the other side went. I then saw a sign to a park and followed it and I was pleasantly surprised and followed it to the end. I love it, if you get a chance check it out!
What a stunning trail! Absolutely gorgeous . We are gravel bikers so the terrain felt amazingly smooth with some bumps here and there— but they are marked. The elevation gain from Banks to midpoint (Stubs state park) is 1000 feet. It’s a slow grade incline and manageable on a good bike. Oregon takes such good care of its state parks and trails. Bravo!
I rode between the west end and St.John’s Rd…a Saturday…my first time on this trail. This part of trail is in excellent shape yet directional signage is poor, non existent or damaged and as a result I ended up on one dead end spur where it appeared I stumbled into some drug dealing or use…did a quick U turn! There are also no mile markers and the trail changed names 3 times on this section: Burnt Bridge, Ellen Davis and Discovery trail. More confusion! That said I’ll attempt the entire route soon and provide an updated review then.
We stayed at Columbia River RV and rode from the RV Park to the first section of Marine Drive Trail - I saw that the I-205 joins directly there so we took it south. I saw that it went over the two bridges of the Columbia river so we gave that a try. Wow. It is a bike path in the middle of the bridge with northbound traffic whizzing by on one side and southbound on the other. The noise!! LOL The path is barricaded by a concrete wall on both sides and then a metal guard rail on top of that. So honestly felt safe enough. We did the first mile over the first bridge and then turned around. It was an experience to say the least. (We are both 79) Then we continued south on the trail for about 6 miles. I like this kind of trail - kind of urban-lots to look at. Some industrial/one section of beautiful older houses. We didn't get to any homeless but in the distance I could see a big tent setup. We have ridden lots of trails with homeless and never been bothered but I know it does bother some people. Sometimes we stop to talk with them and all have a sad story. I would definitely ride this again if in the area-we are from AZ just roaming in our small RV with ebikes on the back staying out of the AZ heat.
We started in Parking lot#3. Glad to have the traillink map-it was fun cruising around all the loops - so much better than a straight path. Every section was different. Beautiful scenery - saw a big eagle nest with Mama in it/a huge lilypad pond. We did 10miles but this could easily be at least a 20mile trail. Just go in reverse and mixup the loops. Totally enjoyable and I would use this all the time if I lived close to it.
