Walking Portland: Woodstock

This 5-mile loop walk–starting and finishing on popular Woodstock Avenue–traverses a larger part of the lovely southeast Woodstock neighborhood, including a ridge of gorgeous views and a beautiful park.

This scenic walk–beginning and ending on popular SE Woodstock Blvd–traverses much of the north-south length of the Woodstock neighborhood, including Woodstock Park.

For info on our monthly Portland walking tours, join us on our Facebook page, PDX Women Who Walk.

And sign up for the next walk on our Meetup page, PDX Women Who Walk.

Add a meander through Woodstock Park, coffee at one of FOUR neighborhood coffee shops, excellent lunch or pastries at Grand Central Bakery, and exceptional ice cream at Cloud City Ice Cream, and you’ve got one memorable afternoon.

But before you set out, grab a cappuccino at Heart Coffee Roasters (our fave) and look over the route.

Distance

About 5 miles.

Time

Allow 2 hours; longer if you stop to gawk at the lovely homes and gardens or linger over coffee on the way back. And of course, you should do both.

Terrain

Portland-style sidewalks (periodically uneven and in need of repair) the entire walk. The greater portion of the walk is flat or gently sloping.

Difficulty

Easy and fun.

Coffee, Pastries & Ice Cream

Good options for coffee and pastries along this route include Heart Coffee Roasters (our fave), First Cup Coffee House, and Papaccino’s. And for us, a cone at Cloud City Ice Cream is a must-have.
