Forest Park, a vast expanse of over 5,200 acres (2,100 hectares) along the Willamette River on Portland’s northwestern edge, is one of the largest urban forested areas in the United States. The park’s dense, verdant landscape provides a tranquil setting, rich with wildlife and a network of hiking trails. Visitors can explore the lush, wooded paths, observe native flora and fauna, and enjoy the serene atmosphere that offers a natural retreat within the city.
