Ecological Interest Adventures
Lacamas Lake Regional Park and the Washougal Greenway are jewels of the Clark County Parks & Recreation park system. Covering over 312 acres, the park hosts a six mile network of scenic hiking and cycling trails that pass through dense forest and by three impressive waterfalls, as well as Round Lake and Lacamas Creek.
Oneonta Falls (sometimes called Lower Oneonta Falls), is a short .6 mile hike that requires overcoming a few obstacles to reach it. It’s not far from Portland either.
Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall - through all four seasons, this park's got it all! There's no wrong time to explore Marshall Park in SW Portland. So what are you waiting for? Go play!
Stub Steward State Park, off Hwy 26 near Vernonia in the Coast Range, is well known by bicyclists and horse riders. It is less well known that it also is one of the areas closest to Portland (31 miles) to feature the truly dark skies required for good star gazing.
Stop to quite literally enjoy the fruits of summer in the Pacific Northwest. The Intertwine and delicious berries are all around you!
