Confirmed from Bryant Woods Nature 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.

Never been here before and went on a whim with my bestfriend for a picnic. Cool little trails and was very peaceful

★★★★★ — Rebecca , Mar 2024

This is a great nature park and feels awesome to walk among Mother Nature. Seeing what humans have done to Mother Nature makes our hearts hurt. These little nature areas are awesome we need many more of them.

★★★★★ — Joii , Mar 2017

This is a very quiet sort of secluded park. The main outer trail goes by some houses, but there are a bunch of smaller side trails that are great for my 4 year old to run around on.

★★★★★ — Ian , Jul 2017

A nice, quiet, secluded Park. Part of the trail is under tree canopies and part of it is along the wetlands. It's a nice place to hike or walk with your dog. Nice scenery. It's a nice place to get away and relax without having to go too far. As with most parks in Lake Oswego it is clean and well-kept.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
