Description

Located in southwest Portland, Tryon Creek is Oregon's only state park within a major metropolitan area. Comprising 64 acres, Tryon Creek State Park is a wonderful place to hike, stroll, jog, or bike. Trails include a 3-mile paved bike trail, the fully accessible 0.35 mile Trillium Trail, and numerous hiking trails of varying lengths.

Tryon Creek is also home to a spectacular trillium display early each spring, as well as an annual Trillium Festival.

The non-profit group Friends of Tryon Creek State Park operates a nature store, summer youth day camps, school tours, guided nature walks and special events.

There is no day-use fee at this park.
