Tryon Creek State Natural Area
About
Tryon Creek State Natural Area is a park in Oregon, about a mile from the community of Dunthorpe. The land is managed as city land, and its several named trails make it a convenient base for walks close to town. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show highs around 80°F in July and August, with only three or four wet days a month. Winter is cooler and much wetter, with highs in the mid-40s and around 20 wet days in December. Trails begin right at the park, including Big Fir Trail and Ruth Pennington Trillium Trail, both within about a third of a mile. Farther out, Fanno Creek offers paddling about 4.4 miles away, and Carver Bouldering is a climbing option about 9 miles off.
