Forest Park
Parks, Washington Park
Fodor's Review:
The nation's largest (5,000 acres) urban wilderness, this city-owned park, with more than 50 species of birds and mammals, has more than 70 mi of trails. Running the length of the park is the 24 1/2-mi Wildwood Trail, which extends into Washington Park. The 11-mi Leif Erikson Drive, which picks up from the end of Northwest Thurman Street, is a popular place to jog or ride a mountain bike. The Portland Audubon Society (5151 N.W. Cornell Rd. 503/292-9453) supplies free maps and sponsors a bevy of bird-related activities including guided bird-watching events. There's a hospital for injured and orphaned birds as well as a gift shop stocked with books and feeders.
