Powell Butte has MTB trails in Portland. Climb to the top and You'll get views of Mt. Hood, St. Helens, Adams, Jefferson and some other geology. A great workout and a fun ride.

Powell Butte Nature Park is an extinct volcano. It is one of three, along with Rocky Butte, and Mount Tabor. Powell Butte Nature Park is Portland's second-largest park after Forest Park (608 acres total - 36 acres owned by PP&R and 572 acres owned by the Portland Water Bureau).

In April 1925 the City of Portland purchased the land from George Wilson for future water reservoirs. The City continued to lease the northeast portion of the property to Henry Anderegg, a farmer and owner of Meadowland Crest Dairy, through 1948. In the mid-1970s the Water Bureau prepared a development plan for Powell Butte that called for the construction of four 50-million gallon underground reservoirs to be located at the north end of the top of the butte. The first reservoir was completed in 1980, but no others have been built since then. In 1987 the City officially established Powell Butte as a nature park and the park was opened to the public in 1990.
