Portland's Forest Park 

    

Portland's Forest Park is the largest wooded city park in the United States. Covering 5,000 plus acres, it provides a hushed and peaceful environment of a varied and evolving forest ecosystem. Overlooking the Willamette River, the Park stretches for nearly eight miles along the northeast slope of the Tualatin Mountains.
