Hike: Forest Park (Newton Road, BPA, Wildwood), Portland, OR

AllTrails map

Getting There

The Newton Road parking lot/Trailhead is off Skyline Road, about 1/8th mile from Germantown Road. It's a small single lane dirt road. There are a couple of places to allow another car to pass but it'd be a tight squeeze. Some potholes have formed but the Jeep and extra clearance make this a non-issue.

The Hike

Length: 5.2 miles
Elevation Gain: 1,181 feet
Type: Loop

This is my 2nd hike of the Newton Road-BPA-Wildwood loop and 1st time going clockwise: Start at the trailhead, go north on Wildwood cross Newton Road and continue. Take all the way to BPA Road. 

Then, down the access road (BPA Road) under the power lines.

Then back south along Newton Creek and up and up.

Then rejoin Wildwood Trail or stay on Newton Road back to the parking lot/trailhead.
