Experience three of the finest parks in the metropolitan area: Tryon Creek State Park, George Rogers Park and Mary S. Young State Park. Paved bike paths take riders through each park, while interesting, scenic streets connect the parks. Starting at Tryon Creek State Park Nature Center, riders will enjoy the forested, windy downhill bike path all the way to Lake Oswego’s First Addition neighborhood. Continue south to George Rogers Park and stop to check out the historic Iron Smelter, or dip your toes in the Willamette River down at the park’s beach (Yes! They have a beach!). Finally, enjoy stunning views of the Willamette River from Old River Road and the quiet serenity of Mary S. Young State Park.
