Confirmed from Sahallie Illahee 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 could be much more beautiful with the help of volunteers for removing these invasive plants.”

Small, nature-based park. Was renovated in 2020. Great for younger kids to experience play away from a stereotypical playground. Hilly hiking trails, small creek. Street parking only, limited seating, no restroom.

★★★★☆ — Andrea , Jan 2022

Incredible little nature park hidden in the hills of West Linn. Worth the drive. The coolest feature is the long slide that goes downhill to the lower trail and passes bushes and trees. The playground by Horton Rd is a lot of fun as well.

★★★★★ — Sean , Oct 2023

What a phenomenal park!! Nature trails, two large --> giant slides, a fun interactive play structure, turf to slide down, dinky little swings, bridges crossing a little creek. It's wonderful and has a view of the mountain. Well worth it

★★★★★ — Robby , Mar 2022

Great park little kids! 3 little play areas in one small hike made the park super fun. The only bad part, no restrooms.

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.

⛰️ Hills / elevation 4 mentions

“Off in the distance steep wooden pathways an troll bridges atop mini waterways leading up to a 15 foot slide.”
