This is a 3.4-mile hike that will take us through two parks just north of Lake Oswego. Springbrook Park and Iron Mountain Park preserve variable mixed woodlands that include Pacific madrone and Oregon white oak. We will connect the two parks using quiet neighborhood streets. The Iron Mountain Park trails are part of Lake Oswego’s new Iron Heritage Trail, and the area was the site of the Prosser Iron Mine. The trails are mostly flat and easy to walk except the area where we enter Iron Mountain Park, which is a series of narrow switchbacks that head down into a gully where the trail widens again as we begin a slow climb back up.
- Round-trip travel: 60 miles
- Difficulty: Easy to moderate
- Elevation gain: 355 feet
- Suggested donation per hiker: $7
After the hike, we will have lunch at a local restaurant. Bring an energy snack and water. Good walking shoes or hiking boots are recommended.
