Portland, Oregon to Detroit Lake loop Part 1

Looking for a day-long scenic ride out of Portland, Oregon? This one winds along whitewater, meanders through forests, follows along lakes and passes through small towns and farms.

Take OR-211/224 E out of Oregon City. This scenic route follows the Clackamas River past tree farms and small communities to Estacada, where OR-211 and OR-224 split.

RIDER ALERT-GRUB STOP: A cool place for coffee or lunch is the Cazadero Inn. Good food and huge windows look out over the river.

Once back on the road, be sure to continue east on OR-224 where it splits from OR-211. Check back later for Part 2 of this story.
