| Peninsula Crossing Trail and into Downtown Portland |
|
 |
This route serves as a good connector.
It allows you to get from the Marine Drive Bike Path
along the Columbia River, into Downtown Portland.
The Peninsula Crossing Trail is a route that is mostly a
dedicated bike path that runs from Marine Drive to near
Willamette Blvd. From that point you can follow
Willamette Blvd to Greeley Ave, then continue along
Interstate Ave to the Rose Quarter. There you will
find a ramp that takes you down to the east side of the
Steel Bridge.
If you take the Eastbank
Esplanade down to the Springwater Corridor Trail and
head east, you can tie these routes together for a great
ride of around 55 miles. We have a "pdf" of that
circular route here.
You can also check out the
Springwater page for more info. |

The best thing about this route for us is that
it ties together other rides and allows us to
make a nice big, long loop. Marine Drive
and Springwater are both major east-west routes.
By using this route you can connect those two on
the west end. Portions of this route are
on streets, and not all the bike lanes are very
wide. However when the lanes are the
narrowest, the speed limit is the lowest.
We take this route on a regular basis.
