Springwater Corridor, Rail trail in Oregon, United States

Springwater Corridor is a rail trail in Oregon, United States, that follows a former railway line for about 21 miles (34 km) from the Willamette River to the city of Boring. The route is paved and mostly flat, passing through parks, neighborhoods, and natural areas, and it is open to walkers, cyclists, and other non-motorized users.

The corridor follows the route of the former Springwater Division of the Portland Traction Company, an electric railway that served the area in the early 20th century. After the railway was abandoned, the line was converted into a multi-use trail, opening in stages from the 1990s onward.

The trail is a popular spot for local residents to walk, run, and cycle, and it serves as a community space where people meet and exercise. Along the route, you can see public art and community gardens that reflect the character of the neighborhoods it passes through.

The trail is generally flat and paved, making it easy to follow for most abilities, with several access points along the way. It is best used during daylight hours, and visitors should carry water and supplies, as services are limited in some sections.

The trail passes through the Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge, a wetland area where you can spot herons, ducks, and other birds. It also crosses the Willamette River on a former railway bridge, offering views of the river and the city skyline.
