Hubby and I took our Great Dane here while visiting Boardman. Plenty of parking (had our bobtail semi) and clean facilities. Absolutely loved the view. It is windy, so be careful with your hats.
Best access point is parking at Columbia Boulevard Water Treatment plaint and following the path and bridge across the slough. A little industrial in parts, but beautiful views of the slough and lots of birds (great blue herons, great egrets, hawks, sandpipers, etc.) and other animals (river otters, nutria, etc.). You'll have the trail mostly to yourself. I'd recommend going during the week to avoid going on a day where the raceway is up and running. Great hidden gem.
I didn't like how one direction was mostly uphill and the other direction was mostly downhill. I like a little more variety of up and down in each direction. And although it was pretty, I'm I don't understand why this trail is so popular.
We took our seven-year-old son and nine-year-old daughter on this trail recently. There are several places where you have to cross roads, but our kids are comfortable with this type of riding, so it felt safe. It's really nice that you can stop at parks along the way for a break. We had a great time.
This trail had one wow moment after another with stretches right on the water, meadows full of wildflowers, and portions in the woods away from the water. It was biking through the wooded section that we came across a bear crossing the trail. Luckily, it was as startled as we were and ran quickly up the hill from us. We made more noise for the remainder of the ride. The trail looks to be well maintained with the exception of the painted markers where it enters campground loops and parking lots. Those needed refreshing as they were hard to locate in places.
My husband and I just discovered this trail today. What a gem! Love the random artwork and the peaceful trail!
Best way to cross the willamette on a bike - protected and wide. Drops down right at OMSI...
Very hard to navigate and had to ride on the highway. Saw 2 otters and a deer but just ok ride.
Lovely trail not even too crowded on a Sunday. Well marked and very shady
Lovely trail but very busy for a Wednesday. App helps see where you are as many twists and turns.
Lovely paved trail spoiled by lots of homeless. Looks like the city is trying to keep the trash picked up but the this is all Graffiti spoils the ride.
