Chehalem Ridge - Opening Soon!

Greetings friends of Chehalem Ridge Nature Park, We are excited to share that Chehalem Ridge Nature Park will be opening to the public on Monday, Dec. 13. This 1,260-acre nature park 15 minutes south of Forest Grove and Cornelius will offer visitors breathtaking views of the Tualatin Valley and the Coast Range and nearly 10 miles of trails. Chehalem Ridge is part of the traditional homelands of the Atfalati (Tualatin) Kalapuya people. It is also home to multiple types of habitat and more than 100 species of wildlife, including beavers, alligator lizards and bobcats. Due to the challenges and constraints of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are celebrating the upcoming park opening with a variety of online materials. Activities planned for the “grand opening week” include nature activity guides and a self-guided tour map that will be available on the Chehalem Ridge webpage . There will also be a photo contest with prizes on Metro’s social media accounts, which you can follow @oregonmetro on Facebook and Instagram to stay updated and watch videos. Thank you for your interest in Chehalem Ridge Nature Park. We look forward to seeing you out there soon!
