Confirmed from Georgia Pacific 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.

“So beautiful and clean pavement for walking, running and riding a bicycle.”

Don't follow the directions provided by Google Maps! Google Maps will guide you to private property without river access. Instead, park at the Jasper Road Trailhead of Willamalane's Mill Race Path. It is a short walk to Georgia Pacific Park.

★★★★☆ — Ken , Aug 2025

This is a pleasant place for a walk accessible from the Middle Fork Bike Path from either Clearwater Park or the Trailhead at 32nd and Jasper Road. From the West, you can get here from Dorris Ranch, but it is a lot farther access point

★★★★☆ — Joe , Sep 2018

Fantastic bike path along the middle fork of the Willamette... An urban oasis / getaway

★★★★★ — Stephen , Aug 2021

It's like a wildlife sanctuary place. Willamette River flows along the park and many different species of wild bird are resting around area. So beautiful and clean pavement for walking, running and riding a bicycle.
