I really like all of the interconnecting trails. You can make your hike as long or short as you like. I've never encountered a lot of people on the trail. It seems to be less busy between the hours of 8 am and noon. I usually do about 6 miles, the largest number of people I've encountered on any one hike has been 5 or 6. It feels like you're out of the city, so very nice and tranquil.

This is an incredible resource for the city of Portland. I had been chasing a lazuli bunting all over northwest USA trying to spot him with no luck. Within a minute of arriving at Powell Butte I saw 3! Totally stoked! A great park for birdwatching. We were there at dusk and saw some male deer, and a bunch of other birds.

Green land, trails, people cycling, people walking dogs, people playing the guitar in a summer breeze! It's a nice place to go during a sunny day, easy walking, and not far from the downtown metro area!

Grew up going on walks here as a kid, and Mountain Biking with my family when we were old enough. Beautiful views of the cascades and surrounding foot hills when you get to the top! Check out the mountain locater at the top, and make sure you learn about the importance of the water storage here as well. Please pack it in and pack it out if you have a picnic up top!

There's also a entrance straight down 148th along with more trails. To get to the 162nd entrance trails, it's a pretty long hike but, extremely peaceful and not many people on the 148th trails.

Is it safe to drink from the drinking fountain? There is a Chinese proverb under it that says to know what the water source is.

Zach Jess | Jul 24, 2020
Brian Holt | Jul 25, 2020

The water is from that reservoir so the proverb is likely being playful.

Why don't the bikers obey the trail signs? Almost got run over by 4 speeding bikes coming down a foot traffic trail. That trail is narrow.

Norman Christopherson | Jul 25, 2018
Justin Kennedy | Jul 26, 2018

For the same reason people can't and don't follow street signs when they j walk across the street.... they don't care about anyone but themselves
