Where is Stafford Basin?
Stafford Basin is a triangular shaped area located south of Lake Oswego, west of West Linn and east of Tualatin. The main watersheds are Wilson Creek, Pecan and Athey Creeks. The three main tributaries all indicate good quality habitat and water quality. All are tributaries of the Tualatin River.
You can visit the Stafford Basin and walk the trail around Lusher Farm and up to Cooks Butte, however there is no designated parking area. It is best to park on Overlook Drive and walk to the trail head kiosk on Stafford Road.
Given the growing number of conserved acres, Columbia Land Trust envisioned a connected trail system. Along with many partners, we developed a Stafford Basin Path and Trail Plan. This plan identifies at least 15 miles of new trail connecting conserved natural areas and parks in Lake Oswego, Tualatin and West Linn.In 2001, Three Rivers Land Conservancy completed the "Stafford Basin Path and Trail Plan" in collaboration with Clackamas County, Lake Oswego, West Linn and the National Park Service. The plan identified 15 miles of potential paths and trails in the area. To date, about 1 mile has been constructed that connects Luscher Farm to Cooks Butte and to Fir Lane Farm. Lake Oswego will build another half mile of trail in 2011 that will go from Fir Lane Farm to Rosemont Arena.
Through the combination of Three Rivers Land Conservancy and Columbia Land Trust, the combined organization has committed to building the next phase of the trail that will extend from the Rosemont Arena to the border of West Linn along the north side of Rosemont Road. The trail will allow residents of Stafford Basin to connect to the surrounding communities and residents of both cities to access a wonderful walking trail that connects to parks in both cities.Click here for more information on Rosemont Trail.
