The Historic Bolton Neighborhood

The Bolton neighborhood lies low along the banks of the Willamette River on the east and reaches into the West Linn hills on the west. It’s flanked by Robinwood to the north, Hidden Springs and Rosemont Summit to the west, Sunset to the east and south, and the Willamette River along its entire eastern edge. Bolton has some of the most diverse terrain in West Linn. The terrain and riverfront give Bolton some of West Linn’s largest and most diverse parks, namely Mary S. Young Park, Burnside Park, Hammerle Park, Maddox Woods, Mclean House & Park and West Bridge Park. If you love the great outdoors, communing with nature, and easy river access, you'll fall in love with this neighborhood! A brochure is available in the cottage for a 3.3 mile Bolton Walk.
