Linnton Loop Hike Trailhead

Brought the family out to get some nature. This trail was nice and open with less and of a crowd then the nearby Wildwood attracts.
We only saw 3 people on a Saturday.
It was a bit wet and slippery in places. And ended up being too hilly for a 3 yr old.
Lots of ferns and trees to enjoy.

I remember taking the Trimet bus last stop there... that’s how we found it ... during the recession in the mid 1970s. We were young and thought we found it for ourselves! Nope, it’s now been discovered... so cool to find all that Forest Park offers in a major city, too.

So quick into the forest from the road, nice creek to watch. Switchbacks for awhile and turned around when it was getting dark. Easy enough for my two year old and me

Beautify trail, Hilly getting you up to Wildwood system. Creek running along path.

It's an easy - moderate hike for me. Slightly moderate because it's steep right front the beginning of the trail. By 0.9 miles in, you'll climb up to 800ft elevation. The trail is very well maintained. Most of the hike is like how it is in the picture I have uploaded. Not Rocky at all. Very few bugs! Few places are narrow, so a bit difficult follow social distancing guidelines. There are like 10-20 different trails here. It's easy to get lost. So, have your all trails any hiking app with app ready before you hike. Hiking poles are recommended. But, not having enough the poles will also do. I've seen a lot of people running here. So good for trail running as well. Pets are allowed. I have seen no washrooms near this particular trail. As I said, there are so many trail heads and trails nearby. There could be a washroom somewhere but I haven't seen any near this trail. So be prepared for that as well.
