Tryon Creek State Park

Editorial Review for Tryon Creek State Park – by Otis Rubottom

In Short
Tucked away in the hills, this 645-acre gem is a hiker's escape from the city without leaving the metro area. It has eight miles of trails for those on foot and three miles of trails for horses and bicycles; stop at the Visitor's Center for a quick primer on the park's flora and fauna and a map to help you pick your route. The second-growth forest boasts a bevy of wildflowers in the spring, and Tryon Creek is one of the only streams in the metro area to host a steelhead run.

Insider Tips

Save Time

From downtown Portland, take I-5 south to Exit 297 (Terwilliger Boulevard) and follow signs for 2.5 miles to the park's main entrance on the right.

When to Go

Look for the blooms of the Trillium ovatum (Western Trillium) in April and May, but don't pick them. It takes seven years of growth before the plant flowers.

I didn't even know this park existed till a few months ago. Now I'm there 2-3 times a month. It's conviently located to just about any where in the city (near Lewis & Clark), but lets you feel like your in the middle of nowhere.
