Confirmed from Takena Landing 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.
Peaceful park featuring a 1.5- to 2-mile trail for walking and hiking along a river.
What runners say about Takena Landing Park
“This park is outside of North Albany it's really nice little area right next to the rivers and there's a nice clean bathroom there”
“Very nice beautiful nature loved spending the day with my boys here”
“Quiet place to fish and offers a scenic trail alongside river”
Great walk. Mask friendly. I can't believe I just discovered this place. There were other walkers so I felt very safe.
Really liked this place. I primarily went for the 1.7 mile hike, each way. Parking lot had plenty of space for parking and even if you were towing a boat. The bathroom was clean and there were no suspicious characters like one of the reviews that talked about Tweakers yelling at you. There was nothing like that at all.
I love walking the Takena landing trail with my dog! It is so pretty, the trails are kept up to date, pretty easy 3-4 mile walk. I do recommend if you want to get put into nature without leaving Albany.
Nice walking trail 1.5-2 miles. Can be muddy during the rainy season. But it's long enough it gets you away from the traffic noise once you cross under the bridges that highway 20 crosses over.
Trail conditions & character
“Apart from bathrooms being locked most of the year for no apparent reason, this is a great place to take dogs to the water (when not too high) and has a nice 3.”
