Balch Creek is a 3.5-mile (5.6 km) tributary of the Willamette River in the U.S. state of Oregon. Beginning at the crest of the Tualatin Mountains (West Hills), the creek flows generally east down a canyon along Northwest Cornell Road in unincorporated Multnomah County and through the Macleay Park section of Forest Park, a large municipal park in Portland. At the lower end of the park, the stream enters a pipe and remains underground until reaching the river. Danford Balch, after whom the creek is named, settled a land claim along the creek in the mid-19th century. After murdering his son-in-law, he became the first person legally hanged in Oregon.

Balch Creek é um afluente do rio Willamette, no estado americano de Oregon. Nascendo nas Montanhas Tualatin (West Hills), o riacho flui majoritariamente para o leste por um canyon ao longo da Northwest Cornell Road no Condado de Multnomah, e através da seção Macleay Park do Forest Park, um grande parque municipal em Portland. Na extremidade inferior do parque, o riacho entra em uma tubulação e permanece no subsolo até chegar ao rio. Danford Balch, que originou a denominação do riacho, estabeleceu uma reivindicação de terra ao longo da área em meados do século XIX.

Balch Creek is a 3.5-mile (5.6 km) tributary of the Willamette River in the U.S. state of Oregon. Beginning at the crest of the Tualatin Mountains (West Hills), the creek flows generally east down a canyon along Northwest Cornell Road in unincorporated Multnomah County and through the Macleay Park section of Forest Park, a large municipal park in Portland. At the lower end of the park, the stream enters a pipe and remains underground until reaching the river. Danford Balch, after whom the creek is named, settled a land claim along the creek in the mid-19th century. After murdering his son-in-law, he became the first person legally hanged in Oregon. Basalt, mostly covered by silt in the uplands and sediment in the lowlands, underlies the Balch Creek watershed. The upper part of the watershed includes private residential land, the Audubon Society of Portland nature sanctuary, and part of Forest Park. Mixed conifer forest of Coast Douglas-fir, western redcedar, and western hemlock with a well-developed understory of shrubs and flowering plants is the natural vegetation. Sixty-two species of mammals and more than 112 species of birds use Forest Park. A small population of coastal cutthroat trout resides in the stream, which in 2005 was the only major water body in Portland that met state standards for bacteria, temperature, and dissolved oxygen. Although nature reserves cover much of the upper and middle parts of the watershed, industrial sites dominate the lower part. Historic Guild's Lake occupied part of the lower watershed through the 19th century, and in 1905 city officials held the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition there on an artificial island. After the exposition, developers converted the lake and its surrounds to industrial use, and in 2001 the Portland City Council declared the site to be an "industrial sanctuary".

Balch Creek é um afluente do rio Willamette, no estado americano de Oregon. Nascendo nas Montanhas Tualatin (West Hills), o riacho flui majoritariamente para o leste por um canyon ao longo da Northwest Cornell Road no Condado de Multnomah, e através da seção Macleay Park do Forest Park, um grande parque municipal em Portland. Na extremidade inferior do parque, o riacho entra em uma tubulação e permanece no subsolo até chegar ao rio. Danford Balch, que originou a denominação do riacho, estabeleceu uma reivindicação de terra ao longo da área em meados do século XIX. O basalto, principalmente coberto por lodo nas terras altas e sedimentos nas terras baixas, é a base da bacia hidrográfica de Balch Creek. A parte superior da bacia inclui terrenos residenciais privados, o santuário natural da Audubon Society of Portland e parte do Forest Park. A vegetação natural é composta de floresta de coníferas e cicuta ocidental com um sub-bosque bem desenvolvido de arbustos. Sessenta e duas espécies de mamíferos e mais de 112 espécies de pássaros habitam o Forest Park. Uma pequena população de trutas reside no riacho, que em 2005 era o único grande corpo de água em Portland que atendia aos padrões estaduais para população de bactérias, temperatura e oxigênio adequado. Embora as reservas naturais cubram grande parte dos territórios superiores e médios da bacia hidrográfica, os locais industriais dominam a parte inferior. O histórico lago Guild ocupou parte da bacia hidrográfica inferior até ao século XIX. Após tal data, o lago desapareceu após ser convertido para fins industriais.
