McLoughlin Promenade, Historic promenade in Oregon City, United States.
McLoughlin Promenade is a 10-foot-wide, 2,300-foot-long pedestrian pathway paved with stone and concrete, running along Singer Hill Bluff about 100 feet above Oregon City between Tumwater Drive and the Oregon City Municipal Elevator. Its city side is lined with 1,400 linear feet of basalt barrier walls and posts of varying heights.
The promenade was built near the home of John McLoughlin, who served as Chief Factor at Fort Vancouver from 1825 to 1845. His work managing the region helped establish Oregon City as an important settlement.
The promenade takes its name from John McLoughlin, a key figure in the region's early settlement. Locals and visitors walk here to connect with the story of who shaped this part of Oregon.
The path is good for walking, jogging, and cycling with comfortable entry points throughout. Visit when the weather is dry, as the riverside location can become slippery during rain.
Oregon City was the first city to incorporate west of the Rocky Mountains in the United States. This distinction makes the location an important landmark in the story of westward settlement.
