Hiking
Hiking in Forest Park offers a true forest experience just minutes from downtown Portland. Spanning over 5,100 acres in the Tualatin Mountains, the park features more than 80 miles of trails, including the iconic Wildwood Trail. You'll walk beneath towering Douglas firs and maples, cross trickling creeks like Balch and Miller, and may spot owls, deer, or even a trout in the water. With lush greenery year-round and misty, rain-fed paths, it’s a quiet refuge from city life. Just be mindful—this vast urban wilderness can feel remote, and sections are lightly trafficked, so plan ahead and stay aware.
