Long Creek Trail Details
Running through woods and tidal marshlands, Long Creek is an impressive little waterway to visit for scenic views. The moderate Long Creek Trail rounds its way through tall trees and along the steep banks of the creek to a kayak launch and views of the marshlands and historic locations, such as the signing location of an old treaty that created Southern Portland. Maples and oaks provide for the majority of cover, but it is recommended to visit when the leaves have fallen for the best views.
