Here you can view Burnt Bridge Creek as it flows west to Vancouver Lake, which drains into Lake River and eventually feeds into the Columbia River.

The Burnt Bridge Creek Trail is a completely paved bike way that leads from Vancouver Lake through the northern part of the city towards the Columbia River. The trail passes through numerous parks and can be accessed from a few different trailheads and parking lots.

The Banks-Vernonia State Trail is Oregon's first "rails-to-trails" park, repurposing a 21-mile abandoned railroad between Banks and Vernonia. 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. Key highlights include 13 bridges and the impressive Buxton Trestle, a 733-foot long, 80-foot high bridge, which is open to hikers and bikers.

Burnt Bridge Creek is a 13-mile stream starting near Orchards and ending in Vancouver Lake. For the first 8 miles, the creek travels through natural and artificial waterways before joining a small canyon. The creek's lower section is home to coho salmon, rainbow trout, and steelhead. The 8-mile Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway Trail, a popular path for walking, biking, and jogging, runs along the creek as well.

Salmon Creek Regional Park and Pond lie at the east end of the paved Salmon Creek Greenway. Though located in an urban setting, the park has 35 acres of developed parkland and 368 acres of undeveloped green space, providing habitat for rabbits, deer, turtles, and beavers.

Turtle Ponds offers a tranquil escape with diverse wildlife along Salmon Creek's rushing waters.

The Wayne Naillon Memorial Rest Area is a small picnic area on the Crown Zellerbach Trail. It was created in memory of Wayne Naillon, an integral member of the team that helped to set up the Crown Zellerbach Trail. There is a commemorative sign for Wayne at this spot as well.

The Crown Zellerbach Trail is a 27-mile-long trail that runs between Scappoose and Vernonia. The trail is built on an old railway right of way and is a mix of asphalt and gravel. This section is paved and takes you through dense forest.
