Exploring Salem Oregon: Minto-Brown Island Park
Spring has sprung
and it’s time to get out and enjoy all the beautiful nature experiences Salem
has to offer!
On the west side
of the city and surrounded by the Willamette River waterway, Minto-Brown Island
Park is the largest recreation space in Salem. It's comprised of a variety of
environments, including wetlands, woodlands, and open prairie. The best way to
experience Minto-Brown is via the nearly 30 miles of trails and bike paths that
wind throughout the park. On the northern end of Minto-Brown, a stunning pedestrian
bridge connects to Riverfront City Park and the rest of the downtown district.
Wildlife is common at Minto-Brown, and large picnic pavilions are available to
rent within the park's boundaries.
