Powell Butte Nature Park

This place was super nice, calm, quiet. I met some friendly people on the way. As someone who only travels with her dog, safety was a concern for me but I saw plenty of people and families to feel safe. The only part I was concerned about was the trail close to people’s backyards on the lower half. Other than that I felt safe! There are plenty of trails to take and great views!

Horrible! Not a place for dogs or humans!! First off, coyotes. Then humans who decide the laws don’t mean anything to them. Off leash dogs, one ran up up to us and our dog so fast we could not stop it. Piles of dog poop bags in a few places. I live across from a Portland park which I love, but the same issues here as there. Unleashed dogs, careless humans and if you come alone, be aware of the coyotes.

The trails were fine. The South Trail was the prettiest. It’s kind of easy to get off track and take wrong turns. Nice view if Mount Hood. The reason I’m giving it 3 stars is the bathrooms. They were disgusting. There was no toilet paper and there was pee everywhere.

This place is so beautiful with pretty clouds. I think I found one of my favorite sunset spots in Portland. Lots of fruit trees and dog walkers. It looks like a great biking trail for beginners. There was also a marked heritage tree.

I love how Powell Butte is only a 10 minute drive from my home. I usually do the mountain view trail whenever I visit. Lots of parking, and also has restrooms

Great hike about 1.5 mile round trip to parking lot and back. Some most of it paved depending which direction you go. There’s trails that branch off in different directions. Mountain bikes every now and then. Good views on clear days

A great place to walk, hike, run or ride. Wheelchair-possible graveled trails under open sky, sweeping views and lots of native flora and birds galore. There are also more hiking type trails where you go down into the woody areas. Oddly enough, we haven't yet checked out the visitor's center but it looks in good repair. All kinds of people and abilities enjoy this wonderful place and you likely will too!

This park is so much fun! I did a 4.5 mile loop hike that took me around most of the perimeter of the park, which had both exposed and tree-covered sections. With so many trails to choose from you can really tailor your experience to what you want; in other words, there's something here for everyone. Try to go on a clear day and you'll get some exceptional views of the Cascades as a sweet bonus!
