Ghost Creek Trail and Turtle Pond

The Ghost Creek Pedestrian Path is a hard-surface, accessible path about one mile long, open for walking, biking, rolling, and nature viewing.

Western Pond Turtles, birds, waterfowl, beaver, frogs, and Great Blue Herons may be seen. Green turtle stencils on the pavement lead to the observation structure.

It runs from North Plains Veterans Park at 313th Avenue east along Highland Court, south through a pedestrian crossing under the Glencoe Road overpass, back to Highland Court, and along 307th Avenue to an observation platform over Turtle Pond.

The pond is protected habitat for observation only: no recreation in the pond, and do not feed the wildlife.

The trail and platform were completed in 2020, with most funding from ODOT as part of the Glencoe Road overpass redesign.
