Within THPRD boundaries, the popular Fanno Creek Trail includes 4.5 miles of ADA-accessible trail that meanders through the Garden Home-Whitford and Raleigh Hills communities.

The trail begins at the Garden Home Recreation Center (you can park and access the trail on the north side of the grassy lawn) and largely follows Fanno Creek west toward 217, dipping south to SW Scholls Ferry Road south of Greenway Park and into Tigard.

Eventually the trail is expected to extend from Willamette Park in SW Portland to the Tualatin River in Durham.

Along its length, the Fanno Creek Trail passes through forests, wetlands, and a variety of parks, making it a great destination for walking, running, biking, recreation, and wildlife viewing. As with most of THPRD’s regional trail systems, the Fanno Creek Trail is mostly flat, allowing young bike riders a welcoming place to learn or practice their riding.

Access to the trail can be found at numerous places, such as street crossings and neighborhood connections, as well as several parks.
