This 24.5-mile trail leads you through the city. Starting at the World Forestry Center, the trail strings together some of Portland's best nature attractions, Hoyt Arboretum, the Audubon Society and Forest Park. The terrain depends on what portion of the trail you tackle, from the very hilly area of Washington Park to the more gradual swales of the 10 northern-most miles of the trail. 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.”
