Watch Wildlife & Birds

Nyberg Preserve lies on the south side of Nyberg Creek, which runs past the Fred Meyer Shopping Center, under I-5 and eastward to its confluence with the Tualatin River in Browns Ferry Park. This was a reed-canary grass monoculture which was excavated to create open water ponds adjacent to Nyberg Creek. Fish that swim up Nyberg Creek from the Tualatin River provide food for heron, fish eating ducks, kingfishers and an occasional Osprey. Canada geese, mallards and beaver frequent this wetland and baby ducks and geese are common during spring. There is no access into the marsh itself.

Clackamas County’s largest community park feeatures baseball & softball facilities, an off-leash dog area, a playground, and a walking trail along Mount Scott Creek.

Stretching from Portland’s Rocky Butte southward to the Clackamas River, a group of extinct volcanoes and lava domes lend unique geographic character to the region’s east side, providing important wildlife habitat and panoramic vistas.

Located twenty miles east of the city of Portland, Oregon, and the northern Willamette River valley, the Mt. Hood National Forest extends south from the strikingly beautiful Columbia River Gorge across more than sixty miles of forested mountains, lakes and streams to Olallie Scenic Area, a high lake basin under the slopes of Mt. Jefferson. Visitors enjoy fishing, camping, boating and hiking in the summer, hunting in the fall, and skiing and other snow sports in the winter.
