Walk and hike - it's good for your health!

The Eastbank Esplanade provides walkers and hikers with a unique and distinctively urban experience. Tucked between Interstate 5 and the Willamette River, the Esplanade is 1.5 miles long, extending from the Hawthorne Bridge to the Steel Bridge with connections to eastside neighborhoods as well as across the river. Primarily a pedestrian/bicycle corridor, it offers unparalleled views of downtown Portland and leaves visitors with a whole new perspective of the river and the eastside. Hundreds of office workers in downtown Portland use it daily.

The 40 Mile Loop Land Trust is an Advocacy Group Promoting a System of
Connected Recreational Trails in the Portland Metro Area.
The Trust also Pursues Completion of the 40 Mile Trail
Around the Portland Metropolitan Area.

Forest Park Wildwood Trail

Portland’s Forest Park is the largest wooded city park in the United States. Covering 5,000 acres, it provides a hushed and peaceful environment of a varied and evolving forest ecosystem.

Overlooking the Willamette River, the Park stretches for nearly eight miles along the northeast slope of the Tualatin Mountains between NW Skyline Boulevard and NW St. Helens Road. Forest Park is home to over 100 species of mammals: more than 100 kinds of birds have been seen in the Park. In the spring, hillsides sparkle with trilliums amidst the sword ferns; hundreds of other kinds of flowers and shrubs bloom during the year.

The Park offers enjoyment to hikers, bicyclists, runner, and others who just enoy being outdoors in a forest atmosphere. The 30+ mile long Wildwood Trail (a National Recreational Trail) traverses the Park from the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial in Hoyt Arboretum to Newberry Road. A total of more than 70 miles of interconnecting trails and lands provide opportunities for circle hikes of varying lengths.
