Hi folks, the currently displayed address is way off. Ive suggested an edit to the correct location in Forest Park three times, but the edits are not being approved by Google. This trailhead is not in town or on 2nd avenue.

Beautiful trail! Lots of shade, so it makes the steep trek back up bearable. Pretty muddy, so hiking boots or shoes with good tread makes it easy.

Good place to start a hike with a decent amount of parking available. There are several trails that you can branch off into for different lengths.The firelane section is fairly flat, but if you circle back the shortest way the trillium trail is medium steepness, though short.

Very nice secluded trail with possibility to take a hard trail route downhill to St Johns or multiple other easier routes

Great hike. No bikes allowed but is bike friendly. Parking seems to always have spots even on weekends since it doesnt get very crowded. Firelane 7 is connected to many other hiking trails so can always mix and match.

Great local place to hike. Good hiking trails and not a long drive at all. Sometimes the parking lot can get crowded on weekends, but weve always find a spot.

Was a good trail that has its part that can be slippery/muddy, but it’s a good trail!

Absolute hidden treasure! First trip to Portland and wanted to get out for a hike. This trail is so close but when you get there you feel so far away from everything. The trees and ground brush are amazing and the air is so refreshing. The trail is in pristine condition. Kudos to the Portland Forest Service.

All of the trailheads and trails on the western part of Forest Park are fantastic.

I love taking my dog trail running here! Even on a saturday morning, youre not going to find a ton of people on the trail. Probably because it gets pretty hilly in some spots

Has two choices of routes at the start, and several subsequent branches. Springville Road itself crosses both the Wildwood and Lief Erikson before terminating bear the St John’s Bridge. The other branch, fire lane seven has several options including: Trillium Trail, Hardesty Trail, fire lane 7A, and the ridge trail.Hardesty ends up at Leif Erickson after crossing the Wildwood. Ridge crosses the Wildwood and Leif Erickson continues down to Saint Johns Bridge area. Trillium ends up at the Wildwood, add it is not in the best condition for hiking. Fire lane 7A ends at the Wildwood. Fire lane seven becomes the oil line trail and continues down to Leif Erickson.As a result, there are many loops that can be done without retracing one’s steps.It is easy to do a loop of anywhere from 4 to 7 miles

Beautiful, peaceful, and big park. Tons of long trails with a good variation of elevation gains. The trails are pretty well maintained and parking is usually not an issue. I go here for trail running once a week!

Very nice moderate to difficult hike. I went five miles and took in the Firelane 7, Wildwood, and Trillium. About 750 ft. Elevation gain total.

One of my favorite access points into Forrest Park. Its on a gravel road with a small turn-around parking lot near the gate. Parking gets sparse on nice days after early morning and the area is heavily trafficked by trail runners.

Saw a pair of Romans in full armor hiking around, is about the walk not the destination on this path

Beautiful trail with very low traffic. You can make a loop of it by going down Springville road and making a right on the Wildwood trail. You can come back up via Hardesy, Ridge, 7A oil line, Firelane 7, or Trillium trail, depending on how far you want to go (2-5 miles?).
