November 27, 2011 - Hike 29

Cook Park - Tigard Oregon

3.5 miles round trip




Thanksgiving weekend - second hike. Another cold day, but the sky was clear and the air was crisp.

Cook Park is located on the banks of the Tualatin River. It is a 79 acre park in Tigard Oregon. The park's river access is great for canoeing and kayaking. Ken and I have put in our canoe at this park many times for great paddles up and down the river. This was the first time we have taken the time to hike around the park.

The river offers access to some beautiful wildlife. If you look closely at the center of the above photo you may recognize a great blue heron. There are also many river otters along the river. The park has a couple of miles of paved and and some unpaved trails. We had a pleasant hike along the river and into the nearby wetland.
