Parks & Recreation: Bicycling

Attention: open in a new window. PrintE-mail

The City of Forest Grove, through its Parks & Recreation Commission, has created a plan that would have a system of community-wide trails and connections to promote a sense of community, build physical connections, serve all ages and abilities, contribute to a strong local economy and establish partnerships.  Portions of trail are constructed as grant funds become available.  For a map of the trails and others in the area, please refer to the Washington County Visitors Association (WCVA) comprehensive bike map.

This  new, comprehensive Washington County Take Life by the Handlebars Bike Mapbike map is helping cyclists chart their own courses along trails throughout the area.  From well-traveled roads to firmly packed paths through the forest, the map provides information about a variety of terrain for cyclists of all abilities.

Published with input from local organizations, such as the Bicycle Transportation Coalition, the map outlines urban and rural bike routes (and road suitability). Color-coded trails alert cyclists which trails are most suitable, such as those that are closed to motor-vehicle traffic, or those that are less suitable, such as city streets with high traffic volume.

The map also includes suggested stops--farm stands, museums, wineries and campgrounds, for example--as well as bike shops, transit centers and other points of interests.
