Spring Park Natural Area

Sweet park, tons of river access. Be sure to check out elk rock island! Tons of cool climbing rocks and shoreside to chill on. Theres a very cool octopus tree set back in the back/middle of the island too :)

Gorgeous views, mid week parking is totally fine. I knocked off a star because of the natural, but nasty mucky mud. But, you can avoid it!

Lovely place to walk and enjoy nature. Short walk to Elk Rock Island and river access. Down side is the limited parking

There arent a lot of people here so it is pretty quiet. The trail paths are barely there so nature still grows. Theres also a lot of different types of nature areas like shores, sand areas, rocky areas and rocl walls, thick forest, and more! Its a moderaye size so chances are when you go a second time you will find new things as well. Its a bit hard to get to but once your there its worth it! 5/5 will go again.

I live by here. Its a nice place to walk through now they fixed the path and you can walk over to Elk Rock and go swimming over on that side and this side. Not made for strollers past the walk down. Little play structure at the top of the trail down. Nice to walk down thru there even though its small there are some pretty things and views from here. Some parking on the street but be careful Milwaukie police roll thru there making sure not parked in no parking areas.
