Description

Added by Rachel Davidson

Willamette River overlook loop trail great for kids, wild flowers, and birding.

You'll never stumble upon Canemah Park unless you're really looking for it. Tucked away in the hills of Oregon City above the Locks, this residential park has a miniature-sized set of everything you'd expect in a children's park: Playground, picnic benches, bathrooms, and wide, forested trails. Dogs are only allowed on leash in the vicinity of the actual park, but to reach the Canemah Bluff Overlook, you'll have to leave them behind.

This gently-graded loop trail takes you past the main park area westward to the Canemah Pioneer Cemetery, which is on private property and usually gated and locked.

How often would u drive by and not even know it’s there? Short distances and elevation make this a good small local destination. See joggers view of the river and popped around a corner to see a tiny waterfall flow through a Homes yard.

Great place to bring family. Trails are easy and short. Not a lot of parking though.

Tryon Creek Outer Loop

Tryon Creek State Park has a fantastic, well-maintained trail system that’s a great alternative to Portland’s downtown Washington Park and Forest Park. It’s a super family-friendly area with a Nature Center that hosts kid’s events year-round. This entire area is relatively small and therefore easy to navigate. You’ll also have full cell service up here, and all of the trails are trackable on Go...

Run Springwater Corridor Trail
