This trail is very popular, but there is no sign describing its name. I discovered the names of the trail when I put the coordinates into Google Maps. The trail is paved with asphalt. I believe that it used to be a logging road. It terminats at the Multnomah Channel of the Willamette River. Perhaps they dumped the logs in the Channel and floated them down the river.
There are four access points along the trail. To hike the full length of the trail (1.9 miles), begin at the coordinates listed above (N 45.7612 W 122.8703 aka the intersection of West Land Road and NE Crown Zellerback Road). There is enough parking for six to eight cars at this point.
The second access point is at 45.7591 W 122.8626 (aka Bird Road). There is parking at this location, too. At this point along the trail there is a concrete bench under a tree.
The third access point is at N 45.7584 W 122.8597 (aka Miller Road). There is parking at this location and a little park nearby. At this point along the trail there is a dispenser of small garbage bags for cleaning up after your dog.
All along the trail there are black berry bushes, wheat fields, and wetlands. I have encountered quail, ducks and garden snakes. I often see planes taking off and landing at the small Scappoose airport.
The forth access point is at N 45.7505 W 122.8446 (aka East Columbia Avenue). There is parking at this location. It is at this point that the name of the trail changes from Mobile Lane to Honeyman Road.
Before reaching the end of the trail, you can walk past a nursery and across an overpass. At this point there is a short stretch of gravel which can be a little challenging on a bicycle. The trail terminates at the Multnomah Channel of the Willamette River.
Trail allowances or restrictions:
Dogs and bicycles are often seen on the trail. Motor vehicles are expressly prohibited. There are small garbage bags available at the Miller Road access point (N 45.7591 W 122.8626) to help you clean up after your dog.
