Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is an incredibly beautiful forest to walk around in. If you have the time you can easily spend the whole day there. Lots of undulation so if that’s a difficulty walking need to be considerate of that. But the walking trails are really well paved. Overall rating 9.7

Hard to believe that such a huge and beautiful park is so close to downtown Portland. I stayed in Portland without a car, and walked from my hotel to Pittock Mansion, and then picked up the Wildwood trail. Trails are well maintained and well marked. Dogs are allowed on leash, and bikes are allowed on some trails.

It was a beautiful hike, even - maybe especially - on the rainy day we had. From a fairly fit 65-year-old, I would take all the health and fitness advice offered in the tour description seriously. There were some steep inclines and fallen trees to navigate. Wear good, non-slip hiking shoes and bring your own water.

The only complaint I have, that was not made clear in the description or by the guide at the beginning of the hike, was that the tour did not end where it started. This could be very unsettling if you’re not prepared. I ended up at the Japanese Garden and got a Lyft back to my hotel from there.

A Gem! For a city the size of Portland to have this extensive a well maintained Park is outstanding.. The hiking trails are beautiful groomed, well signed and of differing difficulty. The park extends for miles. Hundreds of walking trails.. MID Town!

Hike to the Witches Castle, is really "the hike". The castle is just an old brick building filled with graffiti. I still enjoyed seeing it. However, the hike (if you don't hike) is not flat as described and the lower level trail was closed (we didn't know that until we got to the castle. This meant we had to go back uphill the way we came (didn't want to do that) or find our way out another direction (which we did with the help of a local). beautiful forest.

This is a beautiful park, filled with walking paths and hiking trails. It offers an abundance of flowers and mostly, a big slice of the true Oregan green space,

We walked from Pittock Mansion down to the Stone House on 12 March 2021 a lovely warm sunny day, sadly the witches castle/stone house was completely covered in graffiti when we got there, what a complete let down, wasn’t worth the hike down from Pittock mansion. Views from the mansion was definitely worth the drive, as was the mansion tour, you have to pay for parking, but there is an app which is easy to use and you can add more money without returning to your car.

I liked it, it was worth seeing. Would I go again? Probably not. If I lived there I would utilize it. But it claims it's the largest urban forest in America, but that is incorrect. The Trinity Forest (Dallas, TX) is more than a 1000 acres larger and is the largest in America.

Word to the wise: in the winter, wear good hiking boots! That said, our adventure was so beautifula nd lush. Everything was packed with mosses and ferns. I wish I had a hiking trail into a magical forest in my backyard like the lucky Portlanders!
