The Rock Creek Greenway Boardwalk – Bethany Lake loop offers a unique touring cycling experience, blending urban greenways with natural oases. You'll pedal along predominantly paved asphalt and boardwalks, enjoying picturesque views of woodlands and open meadows. The route takes you through Noble Woods Park, a natural escape with old trees and wetlands, before connecting to Bethany Lake Park, known for its serene waters and birdwatching opportunities. It's a journey through varied scenery, perfect for those who appreciate a mix of developed paths and natural beauty.
Planning your ride requires a bit of foresight, as this 20.1 miles (32.3 km) route with 707 feet (215 metres) of elevation gain isn't a single, continuous loop. You'll navigate interconnected trail segments and some on-street connections to complete the circuit, which typically takes around 1 hours and 59 minutes. Amenities like restrooms and drinking fountains are available at parks along the way, such as Orchard Park, so you can refuel and refresh. Be sure to consult local maps for the most current trail connectivity.
This moderate touring cycling route stands out for its integration into local neighborhoods, serving as both a commuting path and a recreational escape in Beaverton, Oregon. It links residential areas with commercial zones, making it a primary daily exercise route for residents of Bethany. The blend of the Rock Creek Greenway's accessible paths and the natural charm of Noble Woods Park and Bethany Lake creates a dynamic ride through diverse urban and natural landscapes.
