Follow Springwater for just over 9 miles and look for the park entrance on your left.Brochure InfoCampground is currently open. Take a right at that point across the Clackamas River and a quick left onto Springwater Road. How to get there: From Portland, take the Milwaukie Expressway (Hwy 224) across I-205 and continue on highway 224 to the town of Carver. Using it will greatly increase the variety of experiences the runner can have at this beautiful park along the river. Winter conditions can be challenging with mud in some of the areas, the Maple Ridge section in particular.Ĭurrently the Vortex trail connects the two sides of the park. There is a bit less total distance on this side-about 4 miles-and the running is more technical. Part of the Riverbend trail runs very closely to the Clackamas River and is a fast, flat, smooth mile with excellent footing. The more wooded Riverbend trails (west) are closed to horses, so narrower with shorter, steeper hills. With several crossover trails and spurs, a fairly substantial run can be had in this area alone without repeating a great deal. It is approximately 5 miles to complete the full loop. Access it from the horse parking area or the Riverside day use area. The main trail circles the perimeter of the eastern half of the park. The Rivermill trails (east) are primarily horse trails and are quite wide with a good surface the majority of the year. A trail map with approximate distances can be found here. Both groups of trails have open meadow sections, forested sections, and some substantial hills. The park trails are divided into two sections, the Rivermill trails in the east of the park and the Riverbend trails in the west. Few runners take advantage of the nearly 12 miles of trails there, although it has hosted cross country meets and a few trail races. Since then, Milo McIver park has quietly become a destination for anglers (a fish hatchery is located in the park), campers, and recently disc golfers. In 1970, this was the site of the famous Vortex I state-sponsored rock festival designed to lure the young and restless away from Portland where President Nixon was scheduled to appear at an American Legion convention. Located just 25 miles from downtown Portland is a relatively low-profile state park, Milo McIver, known perhaps more for its role as a historical footnote than for its recreational opportunities.
