Located only minutes from downtown Portland is Oregon's only state park within a major metropolitan area. Every day, visitors come to hike or stroll Tryon Creek State Park's nature trails through the verdant ravine between Boones Ferry Road and Terwilliger Boulevard in southwest Portland. Cyclists of all ages bike along the paved trail on the park's eastern edge, stopping along the way to admire a trillium.
Some people visit Tryon Creek just to sit in the Glenn L. Jackson shelter and listen to the chatter of the jays and squirrels. Others, especially people with mobility-related disabilities, come to enjoy the peaceful setting of the fully-accessible Trillium Trail. Tryon Creek is one of the only streams in the metro area with a run of steelhead trout.
The Friends of Tryon Creek State Park operate a nature store, summer youth day camps, school tours, guided nature walks and special events. They can be reached at (503) 636-4398.
There's so much to see and enjoy at the 645-acre park, one visit isn't enough!
Comments From Other Members:
In addition to all the pro's above, it is a great place to take your dog for a walk. The park even supplies baggies for bathroom breaks and have trash cans placed pretty regularly on the trails so you don't have to carry the full baggies for a long period of time. If you have horses, they also have very pretty horse trails.
I was married here and I can't wait to take the family there this week. I'm ready for a work out!
Great place and just across the street from home.
The other comments are true. I've done a good two hour walk through this park. It stays nice and shady even when it's warm outside. I highly recommend it for a workout!
I like this park alot. It's close in, and has great trails, a nature center that is great for kids and picnicing opportunities. Try it out!!
This is a great park, and hilly for a really good workout. Bring your water bottle.
