Confirmed from Sandy River Delta'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.
A multi-use recreation area with scenic views, walking & riding trails & restricted hunting.
What runners say about Sandy River Delta
“There's a lot of space for dogs to run around, great views on sunny days, and always friendly people.”
“I LOVE dogs but I don't need them running up on me every 3 minutes, not the park's fault, of course.”
“This place ruined taking my dog for a walk anywhere else.”
Heads up 1,000 acres dog park pals... I've interacted with 2 dogs at the park. They didn't have collars or tags. They were intact males.

Love this (mostly) off-leash dog park! There's a lot of space for dogs to run around, great views on sunny days, and always friendly people. The access to the river is very nice as well. Even on busy days you can find some quiet on less trafficked trails, so there's something for everyone.
This place ruined taking my dog for a walk anywhere else. It’s the best place ever. And it’s all off leash! So much variety, whether you want to walk wooded trails or open fields, it’s got you covered and more. Lots of river beach access to the Sandy and the Columbia. It’s so much more than just a dog park.
Nice nature walk but lots and lots of dogs. I LOVE dogs but I don't need them running up on me every 3 minutes, not the park's fault, of course... People also need to take their dog poop with them, and no... Picking poop up with a bag and tossing the bag on the ground isn't "cleaning up"...
