Forest Park and the Leif Erikson Trail

Leif Erikson Trail

Leif Erikson Trail

At the end of NW Thurman is the entrance to the Leif Erikson trail in Forest Park.  As a frequent user of the park, I have had the pleasure to experience many of the trails in the park and admit that this is my favorite trail.  Some people disagree because of the relative ease of the trail and the frequent traffic.  I admit that on weekends, there are hundreds of walkers, runners, hikers, and cyclists that use this particular trail.  However, its size allows the user to not feel crowded, and I enjoy the easy access.  In fact, there is no other place where I can have the feeling of seclusion so quickly.  On any weekday afternoon I can skip lunch and quickly feel as if I’m running in the middle of nowhere.  The length of the trail is a bonus as well.  If you are training for that run, you have 11+ miles on the trail to explore, and each quarter mile is plainly marked so you can keep track of your progress and splits.  It couldn’t be any better.

Portland Parks and Recreation has a great site with maps and information regarding the park and trail as well as The Forest Park Conservancy.  Check out these sites when you have a chance.

This home was one of 33 Willamette Heights Homes designed by Emil Schacht for the Lewis and Clark Exposition attendees.  The site around Montgomery Park, which is viewable from this home, was where the exposition was held in 1905.  The homes and land in the area would have been an incredible sight.  Today, this area and its views, proximity to one of the greatest parks in the United States (Forest Park), and proximity to the shopping and entertainment in NW make Willamette Heights unique.
