About this Event
Hike Description:
Join Friends of Chehalem Trails for a fall walk through Stella Olsen Park and the Cedar Creek Trail in Sherwood.
This 2.8-mile loop will showcase Sherwood’s growing trail system, including the newly completed segment A of the Cedar Creek Trail, part of the future Ice Age Tonquin Trail. When complete, this 22-mile trail will link Sherwood, Tualatin, and Wilsonville, while also connecting to the larger 1,000+ mile planned regional trail network, as well as the potential for a future link to Champoeg State Park via the proposed French Prairie Bridge. Regional trails play a vital role in advancing the area’s Active Transportation Plan, helping people get around safely without cars.
Whether you’re a Sherwood resident or visiting from a neighboring town, this walk is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and learn about the bigger vision for our trails.
Planned Route: 2.81 mile loop starting and ending at Stella Oleson Park. https://onthegomap.com/s/9o4qlchp

Our walk will be led by Jim Booker, a retired professor of economics from Siena University and a current member of the Sherwood Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. Jim is also a frequent walker at Bob and Crystal Rilee Park, the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge, and many of the surrounding trails.
