Maps are available at the trailhead.

  • Liked how it intertwines the winter gardens and Hoyt Arboretum.
  • Back tracked, needs better markings at a couple of trail crossings.

“I very much enjoyed the trail, and loved how it winds through the different many types of gardens that Portland has. I would have ranked the trail higher, but as the previous post said parts of the trail werent marked very well and caused me to backtrack. Other than that its a very beautiful hike with intermediate slopes and hills, moss covered trees, with a nice cool breeze, not to mention the occasional flowing stream bringing peacefulness to the area.”

  • Absolutely beautiful, lush environment.
  • Not enough signs.

“If you like nature walks, then you will love this trail. It is 5 minutes by train from downtown. I headed from the zoo to the Japanese gardens. The whole walk took approximately a 1/2 hour. It was a bit difficult at first to get on the right path to the Japanese gardens. I did not have a trail book with me, and there were a number of forks in the path without signs. However, I asked one of the many joggers / dog walkers on the path for help and was soon going in the right direction. After 10 minutes, I was in a dewy paradise. I do not know whether it is technically a rain forest, but I couldn't tell the difference. It was the highlight of my trip to Portland.”
