Stub Stewart State Park is like a big, big,
multipurpose playground in Portland's
backyard. Just 34 miles west of Portland,
this park is a haven for those whose idea of
recreation is, well, active. Hikers can explore
more than 20 miles of trails: some easy, some
hard. Bicycling can be sweet and simple, or
it can be a heart-pounding, roller coaster
ride on one of many professionally designed
mountain bike trails. Families and friends enjoy
the challenge and laughs that an 18-hole disc
golf course brings. With all this activity spent,
visitors can settle in and pop a tent, park a
motorhome, or rent a cabin to relax as the
evening's stars come out. And let's not forget
the equestrians. Along with one of the best
horse camps in the state, Stub Stewart is home
to dozens of trails open to horseback riders.

1911-2005L.L. "Stub" Stewart, the park's namesake, was a legend in the world of Oregon logging, and a legend at Oregon State Parks. He served nearly 40 years as an advisor to the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, enthusiastically championing the world of outdoor recreation and preservation. He and his brother built a small timber company, Bohemia, into a multi-million dollar enterprise that employed thousands at its height. He was also a state legislator, serving in the House of Representatives from 1951-55.
