Forest Park is one of Portland's many gems. It offers a gateway into nature that stretches for miles and miles. It's safe, well kept and experiences only a moderate amount of foot traffic during peak hours.

One of its more amazing features is that it is within the city limits - So close perhaps, that people forget it's there.

This system of trails promises a great chance at exercise for those seeking a break from the confines of a gym or fitness center.
