Imagine a bicycle outing with family or friends that begins at the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge, follows Cedar Creek through Sherwood and brings you to Metro's 250-acre Graham Oaks Nature Park in Wilsonville (opening September 2010). Leaving your bike at the trailhead you take a leisurely hike through the restored Oregon white oak woodland where you can glimpse Mount Hood and hear the cry of red-tailed hawks nesting in the park's conifer forest.

This is one of many adventures promised by the future Tonquin Trail, a multi-use regional trail that will connect natural areas, neighborhoods, schools, jobs, shopping centers and transit stops between Tualatin, Sherwood and Wilsonville. Metro and local jurisdictions are leading the development of the Tonquin Trail master plan. In order to make important decisions about where the trail should be located, we need your input. 

 

Help shape the future of the Tonquin Trail by attending one of three open houses in December. Metro staff and partners will be available to provide background information about the project, discuss proposed trail alignments and potential connections in your community and listen to your ideas and feedback. This is a family friendly event - refreshments and children’s activities will be available.
