What to expect on Burnt Bridge Creek View – Kelley Point Park loop from Lakeshore
The journey begins with the tranquil Burnt Bridge Creek Trail, a paved path that meanders through thick forests, open grasslands, and wetlands, offering opportunities to spot waterfowl and songbirds. You might even catch glimpses of Mount Hood from certain sections. As you connect towards Kelley Point Park, the landscape transitions to expansive views of the Columbia River, leading you to the park itself, situated at the confluence of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, where cottonwoods and fir trees provide shade. While the route is mostly paved and generally flat, be prepared for some gentle slopes and occasional bumpy asphalt or cracks. The section along Marine Drive can have heavier industrial traffic, but a wide, separate bike path ensures your safety. This loop is well-suited for road cyclists who enjoy varied scenery, wildlife, and a mix of serene natural areas with urban stretches.
Planning your visit
The majority of this route utilizes paved, shared-use trails, making it accessible for road cycling. You'll find facilities like bike repair stands and restrooms at some trailheads along the Burnt Bridge Creek Trail, with additional restrooms and picnic areas available at Kelley Point Park. While most street crossings on the Burnt Bridge Creek Trail are cyclist-friendly, signage can sometimes be confusing, especially at junctions. A new paved trail connection directly into Kelley Point Park is anticipated to be completed by late Fall 2026, which will further enhance safety and accessibility for cyclists.
