Beautiful walk through the park. I recommend going in the fall when the leafs are so many different colors! But it might be hard to find parking.

This is a great trail. Wide enough to walk easily but still has essence of a forest trail. Parking is easy as they have added extra gravel bank (careful, it’s slippery). We passed many fellow hikers (in masks). All were friendly. Signage is clear and all bridges, trails well maintained.

Absolutely beautiful! The goal was to see the stone house because it was used in Grimm. Was not prepared for the hike. Maps made it look like there was a walking path right there. Nope. Long, winding, steep slope. But worth it!! Muddy in spots, but fantastic little creek runs next to alot of the path. Gorgeous green moss on the trees, fresh smells and amazing nature. Were out of shape, so it was hard on us, but normally fit people zoomed on by. Very worth the muscle pains.

Great place to go to get away from portland city life yet still be in Portland. Not far from the Pearl district and lots of trails to choose from. I highly recommend every go get lost here!

The bike trails are wide enough to keep social distance, and the trails are fun, challenging, and quite a nice change for being only 20 ish minutes from down town.

Beautiful peaceful really nice hike there are different levels of hiking trails i seen people with dogs if you like to take your fur baby leash is required

Really pretty walk. Not too hard either.

One of my favorite past times.... short stroll in the great outdoors

No signs to the park. Not identified until in a round-about at the parking area. Only 5 spaces with a few more along the entrance road and around the perimeter of the round-about. City could eliminate some grassy area and add 10 spots. Actual hiking & picnic area well maintained. 2 uni-sex flush toilets

Beautiful time of year to go and enjoy the wet air inside this amazing little gem of a park. Trails are easy to moderate,

Always great to visit. I prefer the trails further from town as the are less crowded. Theyre all good. If youre going on a long walk be sure to take water as there is none in the park.

I lived in Portland all my life, and I have never been here until today. I fell in love with PDX all over again.

Forest park is a great retreat for in-the-city hiking. There are dozens of trail heads and there is something for everyone. The only down side is that there are usually a lot of other hikers so it isnt great for solitude.

Beautiful! Hilly, but the trails were not difficult. So much green. Such a beautiful wooded area.

A wonderful wilderness area so close to the heart of downtown. Amazingly it also contains so many of Portland better known and hidden gems.

Trails are nice, fresh air is amazing, but drive out east to Vista House if you want an experience youll never forget!This is the place to hang with locals & enjoy the city’s lush greenery. As The Thermals describe it, “It’s enormous, with so many different trails, and it stretches all the way to Washington.”

A great place to go for a hike, and only 15 min outside downtown Portland. Also the Edward Cullen House, from Twilight is at the end of one of the trails.

Its beautiful, huge and easily accessible. Go outside and enjoy this Portland gem.

An amazing park with an amazing site called the Witchs Castle. This castle has some great history. Its a small hike thats pretty easy. Its really good for kids 10 and younger. If youre looking for a small, pretty hike. This is fit for you!

A park at the edge of the city -- but it is mostly undeveloped (except trails and bridges). This makes it possible to feel like youve completely gotten away from the city and are on a long trek in the middle of the woods. I hike most of the 30 mile Wildwood trail every year and find it cleansing for the soul! Run or walk your way to refreshment and feel free to bring along your (leashed) dog.

If you’re looking for a hike within Portland city limits, this a great place to explore. Tons of well maintained paths that intersect so you can create the length and the amount of challenge you want. Very few signs of being in a major city, little sound pollution and occasion views of downtown.

Easy as a Sunday morning ️️

Such a Beautiful hike, took my kids this time, they loved it, we came from the top down to just at the castle, then back up again, nice workout took 45 minutes round trip, that was with stopping to take pics at the castle. Everything is so pretty and green

Nice and beautiful place to go hiking and biking. I really appreciate the beautiful nature.

Amazing very near to town gravel bike loop

Its a park in Portland that feels like youre miles from anywhere. It is very popular with local folks, but big enough to hold everyone. Parking fills up fast, just get creative

The best place to be completely isolated by Forest. Great easy trail. Wonderful for dogs but does require a leash.

Largest urban park in the US! Forest Park’s jewel is the Wildwood Trail marked by blue diamonds. All other trails branch from that.Good for year-round hiking on well-maintained trails through old-growth forest. Highly recommend for a quick escape from the city to a mossy wonderland.

This place is honestly incredible. Right in the middle of the city and so gorgeous. There are so many trails to take and so many beautiful things to see. These pictures are from December and it’s still so green!

Long- and short-distance hikes via the easily accessible Leif Erickson Road and Wildwood Trail. I especially recommend the northern half of the park which has more interesting terrain and vegetation.

Nice Park but the masks while hiking and being outdoors is just delaying the inevitable that people will get sick. Both Sides stop overstepping their rights. Not a right to riot.. Not a right to throw states rights out the window..

Great place to hike. Dozens of miles of trail with easy access from around Portland. Its beautifully forested, and the trails are in good condition most of the time. It can be busy near some of the trailheads, but if you get further out you might not see anyone else on the trails.

A jewel of a park and a relaxed place to ride your bike.

Beautiful area with lots of well-kept trails. All trails have signposts, making it easy to navigate. Another plus: parking for hikers.

Wildwood Trail...Never gets old!

There are a lot of options for hikes, rides, and runs. Its great, easy access to the outdoors.

Its beautiful here. Theres tons of trails and things to look at along the way. The trails are long and its in the Portlabd hills so expect lots of elevation and declines. 10/10 would recommend to a friend

The place to be on a hot , hot day . 7 miles walk , cannon trail was hard .

The witches cabin just down the trail a ways is a really neat little spot to hike down to. It is a paved trail for the most part, however, it is not stroller friendly.

Beautiful hike, fairly easy without any excessive slopes

Portlanders are very fortunate to have a number of urban parks to go to.....This place stands alone....wonderful park...the crown jewel of Portland

Very easy, very beautiful! Super neat Witches Castle and the Audubon Society along the wayGreat views at Pittock Mansion and lots of pretty flowers!

Miles and miles and miles of well maintained trails. Never really too steep, the entire course is very runnable. Be mindful of the folks who allow their dog off-leash-- I was startled more than once by loose pups. I personally dont mind, but I could imagine it could be an issue for a reactive dog or someone afraid of dogs.

Huge, wonderful park in the northwest of the city. Great for getting away from the daily life of urban living, and hike in the trees of the Pacific Northwest. Plenty of trails, including for cyclists. Parts of the east park have good views of the St Johns bridge.

Plenty of hiking trials. Not too strenuous. Constant shade. Well maintained. Pleasant hike/walk. No views though since heavily forested. So just enjoy the trees. If the trials werent so obvious i totally would get lost in here. Every turn begins to look the same. Peaceful though. A quick get away from the city.

One of our favorite places to explore. Over 70 miles of trails for hiking. Feels very tropical in parts. A must do for visiting Portland.

Go there. Beautiful. Need trails to mountain bike on though

A real forest feel in the city.. Simple amazing to have it so close and get away from the city

A lot of foot traffic but the views are breathtaking.

Wonderful spot for biking. Recommend abiding the no bikes on trail signs, haha! Very beautiful spot with many views and so much to explore.

Wonderful trails for a casual walk to outdoor running. Beautiful views, running streams and waterfalls and surrounded by nature. Very well maintained area.

Clean and fun hike. I like the intersections to make the trail what you want it to be. We took Wildwood to Newton Rd and back. Moderate although my boys 14, 7, 5, and 3 managed with no issues. Well be back to do more.

This is one of the best urban parks in the world. The trails make you feel like youre not in a city at all..

Amazing running trails. So fun getting lost into You familiarize yourself with the lay of the land.

Moderate trail, beautiful surroundings!

Forest Park is a treasure of the northwest. Deep in the heart of Portland and phenomenal in every way. A great hike in the rain and fantastic views.

Wonderful hiking park with lots to see and explore. There can be quite a few joggers, families and people with dogs, but it is so large that we forget other people are there until we cross by on the path. Paths are well maintained and fine for even very young children with supervision. Parking can get tight at some entrances, so watch for places you can turn around.

I love forest park! So many trails to explore. Very clean and peaceful. The main trails can get kinda busy so check out wildwood and the other trails for a quiet hike! Also there are lots of snails crossing the trail so please watch your step

Gorgeous, quiet, clean and clear trails.

I love the witchs castle! Its such a really nice historical place. I enjoy the history and the nice clean trails. Its usually always packed especially on a nice day but if you go on a rainy day and decided to learn about The Witches Castle its a nice read. A little spooky.

On a cloudy Sunday morning this trail was busy but beautiful. Easy enough for four toddlers and a dog, such a great city escape.

It was a nice little hike, to Stone House.

Forest park is the best place in Portland to go hiking. Just on the western edge of the city, the forest has numerous trails of different lengths winding through the mountain side providing a nice shady escape from the hustle of the city. There are a wide variety of birds and animals and flowers to look for. Worth looking into if youre in the city.

Lots of trees and other assorted green life.

Forest Park is an amazing park with miles of trails that are minutes from the city. Its well maintained and has the feel of being deep in the mountains with beautiful landscapes that can only usually be seen with a distant drive. There are hikes for everyone too, easy to moderate, and some of the spots have wonderful views. Highly recommend atleast trying some of the easier hikes.

It is so busy it can be hard to enjoy sometimes.

Awesome views of PDX, can park at the Mansion or hike from several areas.

Forest Park beautiful place minutes away from downtown Portland beautiful Park beautiful running or walking trails, so peaceful so quiet beautiful trees amazing place try get out enjoy life.

Best city Park on earth. Well at least the best I’ve seen so far. You can’t even tell you’re in the city when you escape to this park.

Awesome hiking spot; beautiful atmosphere and great trees to enjoy. A Must go!

Really nice park, trails are spacious and well kept.

Absolute definition of hiking. Nature everywhere and multiple trails on a huge sight of trees and the silence of the outside world. Well maintained and alot to take in from the routes

Lovely place to walk, few people.

A beautiful, fun place to walk in the forest. Perfect for a walk or a run, whichever you prefer.

Fun well worth your time. Get out there and enjoy the adventure

Best park for walks or long hiking all the trails with you and your family or dog but only turn down is people leaving their trash, water juice soda beer cans and bottles in Bushs, dog poo in bags etc. I try to collect some of that recyclable cans and bottles but never seems to help. Other than that its a great place to enjoy nature

Beautiful place for a walk. The trail I took was pretty flat and well maintained. I look forward to taking some of the longer routes.

Beautiful trail

Walked the 3/4 mile to the witches castle with my in laws. They loved it. It was easy enough my mother in law could handle the terrain on her sore knee no problem. We enjoyed this place and would go again.

Really nice trails people neighborhoods everything is amazing

Spectacular views and amazing forest. A fun place to hike or run.

Beautiful paths and plenty of areas to explore

I went on a hike here during a nice, sunny day. I ventured on over to the Stone House/Witches Castle which was a very fun and steep downhill hike. Theres a lot of beautiful streams and greenery that are perfect for any nature lover. Plenty of people jog on these trails, so if youre up for a challenge in your cardio workout, give this place a shot. I didnt spend too much time exploring, but when I find a free weekend with sunny skies, I will definitely return.

I miss the wide sprawling expanse of lush forest being just a short trip away from home.The park is beautiful, the walking trails an adventure, and the wildlife both in flora and fauna is a pure delight to take a moment (or several) to enjoy.Make sure to take time to read the amazing quacks throughout the park and learn about the native wildlife and the treats of invasive species. Please pack out your trash with you to preserve the beauty of the natural ecosystem and dont be afraid to remove someone elses if you spot something that may have gotten away from another visitor.I hope this little slice of heaven is preserved for generations to come and look forward to getting back to Portland to explore more of its winding trails and hidden gems soon.

A bit rugged for hiking. Muddy and rocky. Still had a great hike through the forest!

Several trail options, trails are wide enough for todays social distancing.

Excellent Place to hike and explore. Beautiful nature spot and a gem for photography and video. Highly reccomend stopping here if youre visiting Portland or new to the area!

This is Portlands amazing enormous back yard. So accessible, wild, and gorgeous.

Beautiful hiking spot!! The trail to pittock mansion was a great workout.

I love forest park! Its 5,200 acres! They have multiple trails to pick from. Great spot for a walk or run! Bring your friends and your dogs! They have a small parking area but Ive never have an issue find a close by parking! Its so beautiful all year long! I always have to come to this forest when I come to Portland!

Amazing.

Good, popular place. Sad to see all the garbage and graffiti around the Witches Castle.

Love this place great history n hike was wonderful

The most beautiful park Ive ever been to. I was so stunned by how enchanted the forest was. I wish we had trees this tall and lush in our state. You will not regret hiking here! The trails are easy to follow and it was so quick to get here from the city. There are also many trail heads in Forest Park, so you wont ever get bored hiking the same trail over and over. Definitely one of our biggest highlights of our trip.

Headphones, podcast or music and backpack full of snacks. Lots of great people on the trail.

Its an escape to a beautiful scenic seasonal diverse forest in the city. Many trailhead to avoid larger crowds and its in our backyard. Its become a happy place to frequent year round.

Best place for getting back to nature, its well maintained, mainly by volunteers, tons of trails, safe and friendly and right in the middle of the city.

Diverse hike options in a beautiful setting! Bring a mask to wear when passing other hikers :)

Great city forest hiking trails. Easy access to nature!

Incredible trail system nestled in a major metropolitan area. Whether you are looking for a gentle path through nature or a more challenging, rigid climb Foret Park has the trail for you. Great for a run, walk, bike ride or whatever you do.The main trail (Leif Erickson) has quarter mile markers and runs just over 10 miles. It is perfect for a 4 to 10 mile tempo run.Be aware the trails branching off the main path (Leif Erickson) can be rather muddy after a rain
