Summary: Flat level trail which tends to be muddy when it rains some up grades but not much. Skirting the Old Oregon Golf course along the banks of the Willamette river with lots of trees to shade the trail. You can see the bird nest on top of the R/R bridge near hole nine of the golf course. High walls of blackberry bushes keep you on the trail.

Reviewed by TS on 6/30/2010 the path is great to hike on. the reason I would not do this hike again is do to all the bugs, we got ate up. 
Reviewed by Reuven on 7/5/2007 I loved this hike but then, I'm not your ordinary hiker. I'm actually a photographer who has, for the last 10 years, been working on a collection of photographs that capture Oregon as Oregonians know it...lots of rain. - - This hike was easy with plenty to aim my lenses at. The views from under the bridge are worth the trip. Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
