Springwater Corridor Trail

Let’s not subject the outside of the trail to be open for «wild humans», the one’s who choose to not participate in everyday life as we all know it. Upon finishing my normal walk, it includes the trail to get home. We are welcomed with a sign which states: Hello Neighbors! Don’t be alarmed, it’s moving day! We are only staying here … It goes on. Look further it’s an entire tent city of people.
Fine, I’ll stop complaining about that specific moment. Further on less than a minute away, you smell shampoo. Look under the bridge, a naked woman showering along side a naked man. I’m done. Case closed. This trail is different, it’s become the «Oregon settlers trail.»
I have reported 2 times now, my hopes are we as a community will not be pushed away from our shared areas. I would expect that of we all were to take a walk or bike ride you may see the same. Please help keep the cooridor in line.

It’s a long, wide and paved walking path. It would be a 5 if that’s all it was, because it’s a pretty neat thing to have in town.
However; it’s dangerous, especially at night. Lots of tweakers and car-​less criminals use it to swiftly Move across town. You see scrappers with their bike trailers on it all day and night. I have friends and have worked next to it, and there is a lot of robbery wherever it goes. We see it the news quite often about crimes happening on the corridor. 1 in every 20 times I pass the corridor in my neighborhood police have removed the barricades and are investigating crimes. Homeless people run amuck and use this as their personal street and place to live. The homeless population is out of control in most of Portland.
Although it is such a high crime area, it is still a great path. I’d strongly recommend using it, but only in the day time and in groups. It’s very safe this way.

Folks living in downtown pdx, this is the place to run/​jog/​bike/​walk. great trail along the wilamette river, it goes on for about 50 miles to end somewhere in Boring. Have only been on the trail uptill Powell Butte, and its a great way to discover the deep south east side of the city.

As great as a bike/​jog trail can get only downside is the amount of bums, makes you uneasy to go for a ride/​run when it’s sunset time. Other then that can’t complain too much of a dedicated bike path.

Just found this hike. Splits off into smaller connecting trails but allows you to explore and still go in a loop.
It felt like I was way out of town in certain areas of the hike. It was amazing to find a spot like this just outside of Portland!

One of my favorite sunny day PDX activities! This multi-​use trail starts near OMSI, follows the River, cuts through Sellwood and Clackamas and ends in Boring. Great ride on a nice sunny day. The section from OMSI to Sellwood had a nice view of the water. Most of the trail has a decent size path. You need to know where you are going to catch the trail again through Sellwood. Runs right past the food cart pod, Cartlandia on SE 82^nd if you are looking for a snack along the way.

This is a great trail to bike, walk, run or just stop at one of the many picnic area’s and relax. During the summer you can enjoy fresh blackberries. It is mostly paved, and goes from Portland to Boring.

This well maintained trail is relatively flat and is great for cyclists, runners, and walkers. It stretches from the Esplanade from downtown PDX out to Boring, OR. It is paved and also has some great views of Mt. Hood when you are about a mile east of I-​205. I’ll try to get some photos posted soon.
