    Great with kids! Beautiful and easy home. It is steep though so beware. If you have a stroller or kiddo on a bicycle please just know it's steep

    The falls, next to it is another falls, but  I couldn't  get it through the fence and foliage.

    Falls were obscured by overgrowth of foliage, and you are not able to get near the water. Some teens were swimming below, but signs everywhere prohibited entering or leaving path for dangerous steep sides and habitat preservation. The bridge is beautiful and the falls also, what you can see. It is just too far from the public and inaccessible. If I lived in the neighborhood, makes for a great place to walk, but not worth it if just coming to see falls and do a family hike.

    The prize!

    Nice paved trail! Short but good cardio and a waterfall view to enjoy! As previewed...parking in neighborhood but this hidden gem is worth finding!

    This nature park is somehow both beautifully maintained and not adequately maintained at the same…read moretime. Important to note that it is a 'nature park' and not a 'city park' which means fewer amenities (no playgrounds and only one restroom in the main parking lot at the Mather Road entrance) and most importantly, no pets or bikes. There are rules for a reason. There are multiple trails that connect to various neighborhoods and loop up to a Summit Trail, however we didn't get any views from the summit. I've started a hike from the Mather Road entrance and it is all up hill for the first stretch. Our most recent experience was better when we parked part way up the hill and started our hike off of SE Talbert Street to connect to the Park Loop Trail. Unfortunately, the posted signs about poison oak were accurate and the trails were covered in poison oak. And while the trails were easy to navigate, the plants are overgrown and crossing the path, so it is hard to avoid contact. I recommend a change of clothes and/or wet wipes to avoid getting poison oak from your stroll. The area is a nice option on hot or rainy days due to the canopy of trees, but not recommended for young children or those with mobility issues. It is a beautiful short hike and you feel away from it all, even though you are close to the city. The restroom was clean and there is shelter that can be rented for events.

    Gorgeous neighborhood park!…read more Beautiful hiking trail with a nice large free parking lot!!! The trails are well marked and I got cell phone service while I was on the trail. There are many trails to choose from. I choose to do the park loop, west ridge, and summit and it was a nice little loop that took about an hour or so. It had snowed the morning of, so the trails were muddy so I would definitely recommend hiking boots. I would definitely come back!

I especially love Carver Park, because there is a stream that flows into it which is not too deep and my dog can normally chase ball all the way across it. When I went to the park yesterday, the water levels were so high that there were like a torrent. My dog was able to follow the tennis ball down the clear creek without getting swept into the river, so I was happy. This would be dangerous for less fit dogs.

Carver is the take-out spot for the infamous McIver-Carver and Barton-Carver floats down the Clackamas river. This mostly (seemingly) calm 3-5 hour float takes you down the Clackamas amongst beautiful green trees and throngs of beer-drinking teenagers to thirty-somethings. What should otherwise be a fairly off-the-beaten-path float becomes as crowded as your average day at the water-park, but with way more beer and moronity. To be fair, it's an insanely fun float, and were it not wall-to-wall with people, the water would be decently clean. The surface makes it look like a calm river, but people die on it on just about a weekly basis. That's not to say that you can't chill out and have a safe float. A little respect for mother nature goes a long way. But come the end of your float, hop on out by the time you reach the boat launch. That's presumably where you parked your escape vehicle earlier in the day, it's where hundreds of drunken post-float kids congregate to decide where they'll be continuing the party, and it's the location where I watched a mother cry in agony when she was told that her child had just been sucked under about 50 yards downstream under the bridge (past the boat ramp). It was intense. Not much of anything awesome to say about the park/launch itself, other than that it has bathrooms and if you get there early enough, places to park one of your cars (you'll need it at the end of the float to go back up and get the car you left upstream at Barton!) Be safe, have fun, and don't swim downstream under that big-ass bridge! A river this large deserves your respect.

    A fun way to explore the city whether you live here or not. The website does not have very helpful…read moreinformation, keeps going in circles and most links are expired. But starting from the Oregon Zoo could be good idea since there is a lot of signage out there. Look for the 4T sign and keep following it. All Trails has the route too. The Zoo entrance has the entire map as well. The hike up to Council Crest and then to OHSU was great! Very shaded and great elevation. Taking the tram was so fun, the view of city was so beautiful and I fell in love with Portland all over again. The trolleycar has a frequency of 30 mins from OHSU commons so if you miss that one there is a long wait or you could take the bus or train. Getting back to the zoo is easy with a lot of options. The beautiful day was an added bonus. All in all a GREAT day playing tourist in my own city!

We took the street car (covered in the all day pass) and did the outer city loop - the trail took us about 4 hours and gave us a wonderful sense of what the city was about. If you want to take a bus to a specific destination for a happy hour afterwards ( your bus ride is covered in your all day pass) - highly recommended !!! The 4 T's - trails, train, trolley and tram ( if you were wondering)

I waited for hours for help, calling everyone possible; from the Audobon society to every local agency and wildlife rescue I could. I only got voicemail. Two kayakers tried to lure the bird to the shore but were unable to move around in the water well enough to catch the bird. After a few hours we gave up. I was heartbroken. Sunday the 22nd I returned to the river with my dog, sure the bird had died within minutes of me leaving 2 days prior, and the bird was still there and alive. I called Stok Outfitters and the owner, Manuel Mendoza rushed down there and was there within an hour. He is so skilled in the water that he caught the bird within minutes of being out there. The bird was rescued and uninjured. I would feel extremely safe going on an adventure with Stok Outfitters. Mr. Mendoza is a highly competent outdoorsman and has a good heart on top of it.

    I highly recommend taking a class at Portland Kayak Company! My wife and I were first timers and…read morethe beginners class did such a great job making us feel comfortable on the water. Our instructors were Rose and Margot; both were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and patient! They even helped me when I fell into the water (yeah, I'm not embarrassed to admit it... I totally fell in the water, haha!). It was totally my fault but both were quick to help me and they did such a great job not making me feel bad about it. Helpful Tips: * If you're taking a class, know that the kayak, the paddle and the life vest are provided. * If you plan to bring your phone with you on the kayak, make sure to bring an airtight bag to keep your phone in it. We had one already but I saw that they sold them in their store, too! Oh, and it's worth mentioning... the company was very understanding even though we arrived five minutes late (our GPS turned us around and we got lost heading to the class). Of course, try your best to avoid being late, but it was great knowing they were understanding about it. It made us feel extremely comfortable! My wife and I are definitely coming back!

He did a great job correcting our strokes. It was clear he had the knowledge of the sport as well as the understanding to be able to offer corrective feedback. I have a service dog and they showed great flexibility in working with me and my dog in and out of the water. It was well worth the money. Overall, my experience with Alder Creek was phenomenal.
