This peaceful, meandering river moves slowly, making it as easy to paddle upstream as it is to paddle downstream. Advanced hikers can access the river’s spectacular Ki-a-Kuts Falls, a picturesque waterfall only accessible through a rugged hike through forests.

Getting Here & Getting Around is Easy Tualatin Valley is easily accessible by plane, train and automobile, and is approximately 30 minutes from Portland International Airport (PDX), which serves northwestern Oregon. Private and corporate jets may land at the Hillsboro Airport. Arriving by plane or via Amtrak or Greyhound? TriMetâ€™s MAX light rail train transports travelers from the airport, Union Station and the Portland Greyhound Station to the cities of Beaverton and Hillsboro. Simply hop on a westbound train, or catch a TriMet bus to travel to your destination. During the Mondayâ€“Friday rush hours, the WES Commuter Rail whisks travelers between the Beaverton and Wilsonville Transit Centers. Driving here? Tualatin Valley is situated west of downtown Portland and is accessed by Interstate 5, U.S. Route 26 (also known as the Sunset Highway) and State Route 217, and numerous other highways and roads. Helpful tip: In Oregon, there are no self-service gas stations and drivers are not allowed to pump their own gas. Also, it is not necessary to tip the station attendant after filling up. Driving an electric vehicle? Several electric vehicle charging stations are available for public use throughout Tualatin Valley. For a partial list of stations, visit tualatinvalley.org. Biking your way through the state? Interconnected bike lanes and dedicated bike paths ensure that you can cruise on two wheels throughout the region.
