A great, easy hiking trail with beautiful, diverse views of the river and the woods. Reachable by transit via the 9a and b routes. Steps and bare soil trails likely inaccessible for those with wheeled mobility devices.

Great trails. Very clean. I I was disappointed for the number of loose dogs my dog and I encountered, BUT it's not posted that they must be leashed. I had just hoped strange dogs wouldn't run up on us. Im not a local, so I didn't ...Read More

Gentle, relaxing out-and-back hike with absolutely stunning views. The trail is peacefully quiet, save for the pleasant roaring of the waterfall. Dogs are welcomed, as well, and the people passing by are friendly.

This place is amazing. Easy quick hike, great for relaxing walk through the woods. River is beautiful, air is fresh, and there is a small waterfall. Totally worth a visit. It takes around 2 - 3 hours if you take your time exploring, but I...Read More

Gorgeous hike along a dog friendly trail. Beautiful views of the river and falls. Got to see a fish feeding in the river with over a dozen large fish and a cormorant trying to dice and eat them. Everyone on the trail was polite and followed the...Read More

Just found this trail a couple of weeks ago and we cannot wait to do it again! The trail markers are a bit confusing, and we got a little bit lost getting back to our car, but other than that, it was a great easy...Read More

Super cool spot for a quick hike. Not a ton of parking where we started but it was expected.

We just went to take some pictures and spend some time on the river bed. Amazing place hiding amidst the residential area. On our way back we lost our track in the trail and went along the river for quite some time. It was starting...Read More

This us a great place to swim, walk, run, or see rageing water. I tested the water, and it was clean as well. I'm a chemist.

Definitely one of my favorites spots for a dog walk! And the waterfall is beautiful.

Gorgeous forest walk. Dog friendly. One word of caution: the surface is calm but the current made for a challenging swim for our dog. Otherwise a perfect day!

Been here a few time and its a great trail network. Small enough to do the whole think in 1-2 hours but you can take your time and do different sections. Nice for dogs

The perfect Sunday afternoon hike in 2020 - clearly marked trails with lots of room for social distancing. The trails are mostly shaded and often follow above the beautiful milky river. You can hear birds singing in the trees, too! There are a few opportunities...Read More

This trail is full of beautiful nature, nice people, diverse wildlife, and has a medium-level difficulty to boot. This trail IS one of Portland's best kept secrets. Either follow the river to the falls, or explore the offshoots. Couple things to note: 1.) If you are...Read More
