Fanno Creek Greenway Trail The Fanno Creek Greenway Trail is an important link in the regional trails and greenways network.
A major tributary of the Tualatin River, Fanno Creek meanders approximately 15 miles through Portland, Beaverton and Tigard, emptying into the Tualatin at Durham. This urban watershed encompasses about 32 square miles with numerous tributaries, wetlands and springs, that provide critical fish and wildlife habitat for more than 140 species of birds, mammals and other wildlife.
The Fanno Creek Greenway Trail is a ribbon of water, vegetation and trail gracefully weaving through the city, taking visitors from the shores of the Willamette River in southwest Portland to the confluence of Fanno Creek and the scenic Tualatin River.
