Confirmed from Ascension Trail Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park offering hiking trails, some short and steep, with benches for resting.
What runners say about Ascension Trail Park
I've been hiking this trail since before it was officially a trail. We've been calling it "Fern Gulley" for over 20 years. I take the dog and he absolutely loves it!
Pretty steep narrow trails. Moderately maintained by Tigard parks. this is really a nice trail for the locals but not something I would recommend going out of your way to hike.
This place was my childhood. I built little fairy houses here, I raced down this steep trail with my friends, and I climbed logs on the side of the trail here. Truly a wonderful trail... Even after all these years, it hasn't lost its mystique
I LIVE ON STREET NEARBY IT DEFFENTLY A MTN-BIKE/HIKER TRAIL BIKES MUST YELD OR FIND A BIKE WAITING SIDEING UNTEL IT IS CLEAR TO CONTINUE. HIKERS: YOU MUST BE ALL EYES AND EARS SOME BIKE RIDERS MAY NOT SEE YOU WEAR SOMETHING BRIGHT
