The Jackie Husen Park entrance is accessible and provides a wide path that leads to an overlook area.

Jordan Woods trail open now

Updated 3/9/13

If you’d like to get an idea of what Cedar Mill looked like before the pioneers arrived, a new trail through our beautiful natural area has just opened. There are three ways to get to the trail: an accessible entrance is located in Jackie Husen Park on Reeves St. just east of 113th, another trailhead is at the north end of 107th north of Cornell, and a set of stairs leads into the park from Lost Park Drive.

Now called Jordan Woods, Jordan Park was formed by Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District in 1988 as a result of an initial conveyance of 6.57 acres. Several more parcels of this wooded area surrounding Cedar Mill Creek were added over the years. A Master Plan was adopted by the THPRD board in 2002, and the final phase of that plan is nearing completion.

A stairway connects the trail to residents in the Lost Park Drive area.

The 2008 Bond Measure provided much of the $1.6 million cost of the trail. Engineering and design of the project, grading and reinforcement of the slopes, drainage, and trail amenities made up the bulk of the cost.

Nature Day April 28

The District is planning a Nature Day in the Park at Jordan Woods Natural Area on Sunday, April 28 from 11-3. They invite us to travel the boardwalks, bridges, and overlook while learning about the resident flora and fauna in this forested habitat. Education staff and volunteers will be leading interactive, nature-based activities, and park rangers will be available to answer your questions.

For this activity, enter the natural area through Jackie Husen Park on NW Reeves Street. If coming from NW Cornell Rd, turn north onto NW 113th Ave. then right onto Reeves. The park will be on the left, less than a block down. A small parking lot is available but please carpool so plenty of spaces will stay available for those who need them.

Hundreds of native seedlings have been planted adjacent to the trail to restore the natural areas that had to be disturbed during construction. In addition, the landscaping contractors have removed ivy and blackberries that are constant invaders in all the natural areas of our region.

A wood and composite bridge spans Cedar Mill Creek.

Stairs lead down to the trail from the 107th trailhead.
