The Banks-Vernonia State Trail is Oregon's first "rails-to-trails" park, repurposing a 21-mile abandoned railroad between Banks and Vernonia. This is where the trails begins/ends in Banks. There is a parking area, a water fountain, and a restroom here. The trail features an 8-foot wide paved path for hiking and biking, alongside a 4-foot gravel equestrian trail. It is at a generally gentle grade and passes through fields, forests, and farmlands with scenic mountain views, in Washington and Columbia counties.

This trailhead marks a popular route for hikers in the area. It is .3 miles from the Wild Cherry Trail, .9 miles to the Dogwood Trail and 1.4 miles to the Alder Trail. If you head west, all of these connector trails reach the Wildwood Trail, which offers ample opportunities to create loop variations. It is important to note that parking is limited, especially on the weekends.

One hell of a climb up here from US 30 on the South end - but worth it! Great views and a decent crossing (once you climb to the bridge itself).

The St. Johns Bridge is a steel suspension bridge that stretches across the Willamette River. It has a total length of 2,067 feet, and is the tallest bridge in Portland. Construction began just before the Stock Market Crash of 1929, providing crucial employment to many local residents during the Great Depression.

Dawson Creek Park is a lovely park with a multi-use trail system that goes along the lakes and grassland. The shaded green areas around the lakes are perfect to stop for a break and take some time to observe the ducks, otters and other small animals that live in the area.
