Wildwood Trail from NW Cornell Rd to Pittock Mansion: Hazardous tree conditions on Wildwood Trail between NW Cornell Rd and Pittock Mansion. This one-way loop is closed.

Wildwood Trail from mile 14.2 to 15.4 is closed to address trail conditions. Please follow the detour route on Koenig Trail, Leif Erikson, and Cleator Trail.

Tip 2: Use Caution

Newton Road: There is a small landslide towards the bottom of Newton Road, about half a mile from the Newton Road/BPA Road Trailhead on St Helens Rd/Hwy 30. The landslide is located at a creek crossing. Please use caution when using the trail in this area.

Tip 3: Be Prepared

There is a lot of work going on in the park this winter due to storms and geological happenings, so please check for closures and prepare for changing and unpredictable conditions before you head to the trails.

And have a great week! Stay cozy, Portland.
