Tualatin Hills Nature Park Loop Trail
About This Trail
This nature park provides the perfect outdoor escape in a busy city. There are approximately 1.5 miles of paved trails and 3.5 miles of gravel. You’ll have an opportunity to view wetland marshes, wildflowers and native wildlife.
When you arrive, begin the trail by the interpretive center. When you arrive at the Oak Trail, go right to continue the loop. Continue through the woodland until you reach Tadpole Ponds. Pass the Beaverton Powerline Trail to rejoin the Oak Trail. You’ll arrive at a boardwalk leading you through a swamp full of skunk cabbage. Take the next two lefts onto Vine Maple Trail. This trail will eventually lead you back to the Interpretive Center.

Trail Contributor
Being outside is how I re-charge. It gives me perspective, fills me with gratitude and provides an opportunity to disconnect from the chaos of everyday life. I am fortunate to share this passion with my amazing husband and our son. I was born and raised in the PNW but I love exploring any area I can get to. One of my favorite things about Hike it Baby is that I have a built in community of friends to provide trail suggestions anywhere we go.
