Beaver Creek Gorge

Kiku Park and Beaver Creek Gorgev.2020.04.09.007Google Earth

This is an interesting spot I didn't even know about for years until I was researching the Oregon Hell Hole a few years back. I may have some interesting video to post when I get my drives back, if not, I'll get something up.

Until then, I'll keep it a mystery.

Originally I had this as a sub-page on Glenn Otto Park, but looking at Google Earth today, it does not look legally accessible from there, meaning that the floor of the ravine is probably not legally accessible at all. You can look into it, though, from Kiku Park, not far off the Troutdale Road.

City of Troutdale: Kiku Park

This 2.62-acre park is located along Beaver Creek Lane. It is situated in a residential area and is bordered by homes on two sides and the Beaver Creek Greenway on the other. The park was dedicated to the city in 1983 by the developers of Kiku Heights Subdivision for use by the general public. Facilities at the park include a half-court basketball court, an open play area, and a children’s playground. Trails through the wooded area offer nature viewing and an overlook of Beaver Creek Canyon.

While I plan on getting down SE Jackson Park Road to take a look, it looks like this is all private property down here and not a legal way to access the canyon.
