Walking Portland: Westmoreland, Eastmoreland, Reed Campus & Reed Lake

This four-mile Walking Portland loop features two adjacent Southeast Portland neighborhoods–one nearly a city in its own right and one a serene enclave of historic homes–with a renowned college campus and secluded marshland lake trail.

Time

Allow 3 hours to tour both extended park loops, longer to gawk at the incredible homes and gardens or linger over coffee or lunch on the way back. And of course, you should do all of these.

Walking Portland: Westmoreland, Eastmoreland, Reed Campus & Reed Lake | SkyBlue Portland

Terrain

Mostly flat, Portland-style sidewalks (often uneven and in need of repair) for the greater portion of the walk with a narrow dirt and bark trail with occasional footbridges around Reed Lake.

 Walking Portland: Westmoreland, Eastmoreland, Reed Campus & Reed Lake

Difficulty

Easy through the greater portion of Westmoreland and Eastmoreland neighborhoods and only a bit more challenging along the Reed Lake trail.

Detour

On the way back from Reed college, on your right along SE 28th Ave., you’ll pass Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden. It’s a spectacular garden and well worth the time if you have it. There’s an entry fee most days, but Mondays are always free.


Check out our Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden Photo Gallery.


Coffee or Lunch

Good options for coffee and pastries before this walk include Kahveology Coffee and Fairlane Coffee, both on SE Milwaukie Ave. Or after the walk, especially if you plan to hit the shops on SE 13th Ave., Blue Kangaroo Coffee Roasters. If lunch is in the works, Grand Central Bakery and Jade Tea House are good options.
