Marys River Natural Area

Vast open swamp ground with a lot of wild flowers. A good spot for picnic or playing with your dog. In spring this place is accessible but I have heard it becomes a swamp in winter(?).

Very pretty, long strip of land hugging Mary's River for most of the way. There are a couple areas that are private property though.

A beautiful natural area with one of the last surviving vernal pool (pools that dry up in the summer) wetlands in the Willamette Valley. Every couple years there is a large bloom of a very rare native monkey flower which only exists in this ecosystem. There is a loop around the park which takes you across both sections of the boardwalk and up next to the river, which takes about 25 minutes to traverse. The park does allow dogs but they need to be on leash due to the sensitivity of the rare ecosystem.

A really nice walk! Whether you take the wooden path, or the ground path, it's a worthwhile and stunning park. Perfect place to walk your dog(pick up after them if course!)

Absolutely peaceful and beautiful area for a nature walk! There's pretty flowers, frogs, little garden snakes and you can have a stroller if necessary with no struggle.

Nice little area for a quiet intown walk. It has a beautiful view of the marsh land and tends to be quiet. Eventhough when we showed up there was a few college guys drinking and talking. They seemed to be low key and didnt diatured us during our visit here

Very awesome place to walk and visit. Be aware of poison oak/ivy/sumac along the river and off the trail though.

Beautiful natural area with a sidewalk and boardwalk that lead to Mary's River. Nice neighborhood, friendly people. 👌

This is a great place to enjoy the weather, park, family and more. It also provided a great place to swim and fun architecture for kids to play on

Good nature walk for elderly it's accessable for disabled there are a lot of birds.

This is a very ethereal place during some parts of the day... It was so beautiful as the sun was setting. A treasure.

perfect little swimming hole for kids. If you don't like noise and dogs don't go,lol.

Don't come here 😉

Lots of swimming holes up and down the whole river on both sides

Close plase. Nice walk.

A nice walk in a beautiful neighborhood.
