Forest Park Houseboats

Forest park is a 5,100-acre municipal park sitting square in the middle (well, a bit to the left of the middle) of the city of Portland, Oregon. But to call it a municipal park, is like calling the Eiffel Tower an I-beam. The park is essentially a people-friendly urban forest, complete with all the flora and fauna you might expect to find there. There are seventy miles of walking trails, one of them -- the Wildwood Trail is 29 miles long from one end to the other. The park itself is about 8 miles to a side, so there are places at its heart that make you forget you are anywhere near a municipal area.

This shot was taken at about mile 17 of the Wildwood Trail. The blue diamond on the tree in the background is a quarter-mile marker.

As an aside, anyone who watches the popular television series, "Grimm," has undoubtedly heard the name Forest Park in connection with cases throughout the life of the series.

Top Forest Park Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Portland City Center

10/10 Excellent

"Yes"

Hotel Eastlund, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Was in town for a conference and this turned out to be the best hotel in the area. Very friendly staff, nice clean rooms. No free breakfast but the cafe was nice. Only downside is that there isn't a lot to do in the immediate area, so you need to take a train to get to the good stuff. Fortunately the stop is less than a 5 minute walk away."
