Wetland Trail (Seasonal) is a short, easy out-and-back hike in the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The trail is about 7.3 miles long, with a total elevation gain of about 20 feet, so it's a low-effort walk that stays nearly flat from start to finish. The route begins at an elevation of about 131 feet and reaches a high point of about 150 feet. The steepest stretch comes early on, around 0.3 miles in, with a grade of about 2 percent. The trail is a simple loop, and the low elevation makes it a comfortable choice for a short outing. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Beaverton show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 77°F, with lows in the 40s. Winter is much cooler, with January highs near 49°F and lows around 34°F. Several other trails sit close by. Cedar Creek Trail is about 1.6 miles away and Tonquin Trail about 1.7 miles. Westside Trail is roughly 2.9 miles off, and paddlers can find Fanno Creek about 6.3 miles away.
