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.

M. James Gleason Memorial Boat Ramp is a convenient public boat launch on the Columbia River, minutes from downtown Portland. Recently upgraded amenities include a debris deflection wall, extra launch lanes, boarding docks, restrooms, river maps and a river patrol office.

Memorial Park is Wilsonville’s oldest and largest park. The park contains both active and passive use areas, and includes significant natural areas with an extensive trail system. Boeckman Creek bisects the park. Memorial Park also has ½ mile of Willamette River frontage with views from the trail system. The site contains all of the formal athletic fields owned by the City, which are heavily used by local leagues.

Situated along the Columbia River, Marine Park offers walking trails, play equipment, picnic shelters for large groups, and a boat launch.

This is the county's oldest regional park, established in the 1930s. This park features 154 rustic acres of forest and meadows bordering the East Fork of the Lewis River, with a 3-mile trail system meandering throughout the park.
