Baxter Woods is a City-owned 30-acre nature preserve with towering pines and quiet, shaded trails suitable for foot and bike traffic. The park is open from dawn to dusk. An informational kiosk marks the start of the hardened dirt and stone dust main trail from Stevens Avenue. The main trail between Stevens Ave and Forest Ave is 8 feet wide with minimal slopes and cross slopes. One section has an 8% slope.
There are many neighborhood trailheads to access this greenspace, most of which are at least 3 feet wide.
The dense pines in this park can create icy conditions in winter. Due to frequent large tree roots on many of the smaller trails, wheelchairs and strollers will want to stick to the main trail, which runs from Stevens Avenue to Forest Avenue. The trails connect to Evergreen Cemetery at a marked crosswalk on Stevens Avenue.
This trail is co-managed by the City of Portland and Portland Trails.
