Lowami Hart Woods Trails

The Lowami Hart Woods Natural Area is a real treat for people and pups of the West Beaverton neighborhood, just outside of Portland, Oregon. This natural area encompasses 28 acres of lush forest and wetlands that can be explored by means of a network of trails with your canine. The woodlands are divided by the peaceful Johnson and South Johnson Creeks. The area is well-loved for it's walking and wildlife viewing opportunities, and is home to a wide variety of birds. 

From South West Hart Road, you'll find a small parking lot where you can unload your puppers from the car and start your adventure. You'll also find a drinking fountain and a porta potty. Bring your own water for the trek, or bottles to fill up here. There are bike racks and a kiosk, where you can pick up a map of the park to avoid getting lost. 

Within the park there is  one mile of trails forming several loops. Some are paved, some are natural, and all welcome doggos. The Fir Loop Trail is a short paved loop that starts at the parking lot. It includes a viewing deck that lets you peer deep into the forest. From here you can connect to the South Johnson Creek Trail, which shoots north across the wildlife area. This trail features boardwalks and a bridge over the creek, which is just pawfect for taking in views of the water. From the South Johnson Creek Trail, you can hook onto the Madrone loop, located in the northwest corner of the park. This natural surface trail will give you a workout with some of it's steeper inclines. There is clear signage located at primary trail junctions. Along the trails, you'll find benches where you can relax with your best pal. 

Our four-legged friends will continue to be welcome in the park, as long as a few ground rules are followed. Keep be sure your pal stays leashed, picked up after, and respectful to all other creatures. Be sure to have clean-up bags on hand at all times.

The Lowami Hart Woods Trails are sure to put a wag in your dog's tail!
