Springwater Corridor

The Springwater Corridor Trail is a bicycle and pedestrian rail trail in the Portland metropolitan area in Oregon, United States. It follows a former railway line of the same name from Boring through Gresham to Portland, where it ends south of the Eastbank Esplanade. Most of the trail, about 21mi long, is paved, though about 1mi overlaps city streets in Sellwood, and about 2mi near Boring has recently been paved. A large segment roughly follows the course of Johnson Creek and crosses it on bridges many times. Much of the corridor was acquired by the City of Portland in 1990; remaining segments were acquired by Metro thereafter.The trail is part of the Portland area's 40 Mile Loop trail system. It connects to many adjacent or nearby parks, including Tideman Johnson Natural Area, Powell Butte, and others.HistoryThe Springwater Division rail line was named for a planned connection to Springwater, Oregon.
