The trail around Back Cove is one of the oldest and most popular in the Portland area and is a great option for an easy ride in the city. The crushed stone/paved trail circles all the way around Back Cove and is very flat and easy to follow. There are some nice resting spots and drinking fountains located at different spots along the way. The loop trail also connects to some of the other trails in the area providing the option for a longer ride.
