Bryant Woods/Canal Acres/ River Run Trails

1.7 miles These three natural areas offer great wildlife viewing and contain 1.7 miles of relatively flat trails. Bryant Woods Park has one mile of trails and is a wildlife rich site containing a seasonal wetland/meadow, upland forested area, and a natural spring with an associated creek. Bordered by Oswego Canal, the park is accessible from a small parking area off Childs Rd. and from the north via Centerwood St. Stroll through quiet woods, take a turn and loop around the large wetlands. This park offers a nice pathway to run or walk on. Canal Acres is an undeveloped natural area with a 1050 foot trail that follows Canal Rd. to the Oswego Canal headgate. The River Run trail borders the Tualatin River and is accessible from the end of River Run Dr. This 1350 foot trail is an easy walk and provides a loop at the end. Enjoy the Tualatin River and keep your eyes open for Osprey.

Country Club Loop

Lake Loop

Westlake Loop

5 miles Walk by two large natural areas and the beautiful Oswego Lake Country Club on this route. Beginning at the corner of Iron Mountain Blvd. and Country Club Rd., pass by the Oswego Lake Country Club on your left and continue to Boones Ferry Rd. Take a left on Boones Ferry and walk until reaching Reese Way. Before reaching Reese Way, a side trip on Diane Dr. to the Indoor Tennis Center takes you to an extensive trail system in Springbrook Park, a 52 acre natural area. At Reese Way, head south to Upper Dr., then follow Upper Dr. east past the Lake Oswego Hunt Club, a local equestrian center, and the lower reaches of Iron Mountain Park, a large natural area and former site of iron mines supplying ore for Lake Oswego’s iron industry around the turn of the 20th century. Finish the loop by continuing on Iron Mountain Blvd. to Country Club Rd.

7 miles The “Lake Loop” is one of the most popular walking routes in Lake Oswego. This 7 mile paved pathway circles Oswego Lake with many scenic vantage points. From McVey Blvd. the route weaves west along South Shore Blvd. and climbs to South Shore Overlook, a natural area acquired with Metro park bond funds to preserve endangered habitat. The path continues to Lakeview Blvd. After taking a right on Lakeview, pass by the Lakegrove Swim Park, and ascend stairs on the north side of the street to Upper Dr. Head east on Upper Dr. to Iron Mountain Blvd. passing the Lake Oswego Hunt Club and Iron Mountain Park. Proceed until reaching A Avenue, then turn east on State St. and follow to McVey Blvd. For the final leg, turn right on McVey Blvd. walking uphill until reaching South Shore. Your journey is complete!

2.8 miles This friendly, neighborhood pathway starts from the corner of Carman Dr. and Kruse Way. Proceed west to Kruse Oaks, north to Southwood Park, and then east on Suncreek Dr. and Melrose St. past Oak Creek Elementary School and Westlake Park. Add another 2.9 miles of rising and ascending elevation by connecting into the Kerr Botticelli Loop at Melrose and Botticelli, or go south at Fosberg Rd. and continue back to the starting point of the Westlake Loop.

2.37 miles Cooks Butte Park is a 42 acre wooded natural area with a networked system of 1.77 miles of soft trails. A popular trail segment starts at the end of Atherton Dr. and gains 240 feet in elevation by traversing the butte until reaching the meadow at the summit which has subtle views of Stafford Basin. Stevens Meadows, purchased in 2003 to preserve open space, also contains a .6 mile loop trail with sweeping views of rural Stafford landscapes to the south and east. No dogs are allowed at Steven Meadows.

Springbrook Trails 1.75 miles This 52 acre natural area contains a network of approximately 1.75 miles of off road trails allowing pedestrians opportunities for short or long loops. The park is characterized by second and third growth Big Leaf Maple trees, a number of wetlands and contains the head waters of Springbrook Creek.

Stafford/Rosemont Trail 1.63 miles Construction of the first two segments of what will become an extensive system of trails and paths in the Stafford Basin was completed in 2005 and is in progress for fall 2011. The first leg of this trail system begins at the intersection of Overlook Dr. and Stafford Rd. and follows Stafford south and Rosemont Rd. east across the open fields of historic Luscher Farm. To continue, pass by the old orchard, farmhouse at the farm, and the site of the Friends of Rogerson Clematis Collection. The trail ends in a loop turn allowing a choice between heading back or continuing on toward West Linn on the .63 mile trail.

William Stafford Pathway Iron Mountain Trails

1.73 miles Iron Mountain Park contains 1.73 miles of trails. Follow 1284 feet of a moderately steep trail along the south facing hillside, take a break at the overlook and enjoy the view. Alternatively, you can utilize the shared pathway that meanders with subtle rises a little over a mile from the trail head at Twin Fir Rd. behind the Lake Oswego Hunt Club along Iron Mountain Blvd. to Fairway Rd. and on into downtown at 10th St. The park contains a unique plant community and is home to a great variety of wildlife.

1.9 miles City Council named the pathway in recognition of Lake Oswego resident William Stafford’s tremendous literary contributions. The pathway follows the Willamette River through three riverfront parks extending from the mouth of Tryon Creek to the West Linn city limits with the exception of a small segment between Roehr Park and George Rogers Park. The northernmost end of the trail is at the Stafford Stones (basalt columns with etched writings of William Stafford) in Foothills Park. Follow the trail south along the banks of the river through Roehr Park. The pathway picks up again at lower George Rogers Park, across the bridge and onto Old River Rd. Spectacular views of the river and wildlife can be found anywhere along this route.
