Confirmed from Oxbow 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.

“It is located on the Sandy River and offers a beautiful and serene environment that visitors will enjoy.”
Oxbow Park is a popular family-friendly nature park that offers many outdoor activities, including hiking, fishing, camping, and picnicking. It is located on the Sandy River and offers a beautiful and serene environment that visitors will enjoy.
Not much is greater than a lazy afternoon spent at Oxbow Park. The trails are always kept in excellent condition, and the benches strategically placed along the trail are refreshing. And who cares that occasionally a couple of dudes may be giving each other a LuLu in the bushes..... Who does that harm?!
This walk is amazing! The trail here is really secluded, with amazing scenery.
Free zoo & nature center. •Birds, Cougar, Donkey, Bear, and more!! Beautiful area with hiking trails as well. •Really fun date idea or family day!
