May 2026 Group Walk

We will meet at the Nature Center at Tryon Creek State Natural Area at 9:30 am for a leisurely walk through this beautiful site.  There are 8 miles of hiking trails (see image below), along with horse trails and bike paths, at this site near Lewis and Clark College.  Not all hiking trails are paved.  Currently the plan is for a one mile walk, but we will determine the route when we gather at the Nature Center. It is an Oregon State Park site requiring a day-use parking fee, or your Oregon State Parks annual pass.

Please be especially aware of the following park and trail rules:STAY ON THE TRAIL. Shortcuts cause erosion and increase the cost of trail maintenance.PETS must be on leashes and under control at all times (maximum 6′ leash) and wastes properly removed.  Dogs are not allowed in the creek.HORSEBACK RIDERS must stay on horse trails and ride single file.DO NOT REMOVE PLANTS. BIKE RIDERS are restricted to paved bike paths or parking areas.Other information and pictures of the area can be found at   https://stateparks.oregon.gov/index.cfm?do=park.profile&parkId=103
