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.

Marquam Nature Park

Marquam Nature Park has been preserved as an undeveloped open space. It is part of a chain of natural areas and trails that traverse the West Hills of Southwest Portland.  The Nature Park was the final link in the westside trail system chain, making it possible to hike from the Sellwood Bridge to the St. Johns Bridge along preserved park trails.

Marquam Nature Park links with other protected open space between Tryon Creek State Park and Forest Park creating a West Willamette Corridor.  This corridor provides hiking amenities, forested scenic vistas, and enhances air quality and water quality in all of the Portland area.

According to The Oregonian on April 2, 1934, Philip A. Marquam was "one of Portland's picturesque pioneers, prominent in the legal, economic, sporting, educational, and theatrical history of Portland." Marquam was a lawyer and a judge who owned the Fulton District, Marquam Hill, and what is now part of Riverview Cemetery.
