5 Oregon Hiking Locations

1. Hiking in Oregon

2.  These are only a few of the beautiful locations that I
have hiked with friends and family. Hiking is not only
a great way to enjoy scenic Oregon but a fun way to get
some exercise as well.
 May this remind you of places you have hiked, prompt
you to hike somewhere new, or encourage you to go
hiking for the first time at one of these delightful
locations.

3. Silver Falls State Park
First opened in 1933, Silver
Falls is Oregon’s largest
state park. While Silver
Falls is widely visited for it’s
beautiful waterfalls it also
provides many other
recreational opportunities
year-round. The Trail of
Ten Falls provides different
hiking opportunities for
varying levels of hikers,
depending on the distance
and elevation people are
most comfortable with.
Overall, Silver Falls
provides a moderate hike.

4. Multnomah Falls
Multnomah Falls Park was
first donated in 1915 with
the lodge being built I
1925. Multnomah Falls
boasts Oregon’s highest
waterfall at 542 ft. and
offers two main hiking
opportunities, although it
connects with others. The
first takes you along a
paved path to the viewing
bridge about ¼ mile. The
second is a steeper climb
past the viewing bridge, 1.1
miles to the top of the
falls.

5. Willamette Mission
Park
Willamette Mission State
Park is a beautiful historic
site located near the
Wheatland Ferry. Along
with easy hiking/jogging
opportunities, the park
also provides, camping,
picnic areas, and
equestrian trails. The
Willamette Mission Park
provides a flat terrain in
both paved and non-paved
trails for an easy and
scenic hiking opportunity.

7.  The trip from Lower Macleay Park to the Pittock
Mansion is about a 5 mile round trip.
 This hike provides a moderate climb with a beautiful
view of Portland and Mt. Hood from the mansion
grounds.
 The trail winds up the mountain with about 900 ft in
elevation gain before reaching the Pittock Mansion.
 There are other hiking opportunities from Lower
Macleay Park or Pittock Mansion, depending on your
starting point, as both trails lead into and merge with
others.

8. Baskett Slough
This Wildlife Refuge was
established in 1965 and is
home to many ducks and
geese as well as other
woodland animals.
Baskett Slough provides
its miles of dirt hiking
trails as well as
observational platforms
for viewing the wildlife
and surrounding area.
While there is elevation
climb, it is gradual,
resulting in an easy
hiking trail.
