July 27 Note: Portions of the Banks-Vernonia State Trail (area north and south of Tophill Trailhead and approximately 3 miles between the bridge over Highway 47 near Stub Stewart north to the Washington/Columbia county line) will be closed mid-August through mid-October for trail realignment and paving.
Stub Stewart State Park is the playground in your backyard. Just 31 miles west of Portland, the park offers camping, picnicking and hiking. If you like trails, this is the park for you. Explore more than 20 miles of trails. Bring your horse or bicycle and spend hours exploring the far reaches of the park. After a day of play, finding a quiet spot to relax is easy in the 1,673 acres of lush rolling hills, forest and deep canyons.
Have time for a day trip only? The Hilltop Day-use Area with its views of the Coast Range is perfect for a family gathering. Two trailheads, one at the north end and the other to the south, are gateways to hours of exploring.
