For about 0.25 miles (0.40 km) the creek parallels Wildwood Trail, the main hiking trail in Forest Park, until reaching a former public restroom known as the Stone House.[13] From here Balch Creek runs beside the Lower Macleay Trail, another hiking trail, for about 0.8 miles (1.3 km).[16] Near Northwest Thurman Street, roughly 1 mile (1.6 km) from the mouth, the creek flows through a trash-catching rack into an 84-inch (210 cm) diameter storm sewer.[17] City workers first diverted the creek into a pipe in the early 20th century.[18] The water empties into the Willamette River in the city's Northwest Industrial neighborhood at Outfall 17.[17] About 10 miles (16 km) below this outfall, the Willamette enters the Columbia River.
