Fine guide but missrepresents park
A fine guide to walking in Forest Park, but misrepresents the experience. The Park has little in common with a wilderness: Virtually all of it was logged or burned in the past 100 years so there is virtually no old-growth or mature forest; over half is overgrown with ivy and other invasive species; and much of it is in earshot of industrial activity.

This review is from: One City's Wilderness: Portland's Forest Park, 3rd edition (Paperback)
A fine guide to walking in Forest Park, but misrepresents the experience. The Park has little in common with a wilderness: Virtually all of it was logged or burned in the past 100 years so there is virtually no old-growth or mature forest; over half is overgrown with ivy and other invasive species; and much of it is in earshot of industrial activity. It is still a very nice place to walk and bike, but the breathless rapture in this book could give you the wrong impression.
