Marquam Nature Park includes a portion of the Marquam Trail, a linear trail and connection in the 40-mile Loop system, that starts at Willamette Park, passes over Council Crest, and connects with the Wildwood Trail in Washington Park. This natural area park supports an abundance of native plant species, and contains many trails that wind around Marquam Hill, through trees such as Douglas fir, western hemlock, red cedar, and bigleaf maples. There is a shelter with interpretive displays and maps near the entrance.
