History

Although planning for Stub began in the 1990’s, the park didn’t open until July 2007 with access for equestrians, hikers, disc golfers and campers. However, early in the planning phase of park, NWTA (then the Portland United Mountain Pedalers a.k.a. PUMP) was involved with a number of other volunteers to incorporate dedicated mountain biking opportunities. Park Rangers at the time helped develop recommendations for a “mountain biking only” area.

NWTA, together with Westside Trail Federation, facilitated the initial build out of mountain bike trails at Stub Stewart State Park.  Moving into the future, NWTA is now collaborating with Oregon State Parks to manage, maintain, and scout additional MTB locations at Stub Stewart. Hundreds of folks have helped dig at volunteer work parties to make the Stub Stewart MTB trails a reality. Those trails finally opened in 2012, with a 5-mile cross country trail and one freeride trail. Over the last seven years, NWTA and WTF have added more than 10 miles to the mountain bike trail system and there’s still more to come!
