Watch Wildlife & Birds

Soft-surface paths meander through the woods at this unimproved natural area.

Activities at Molalla River State Park include picnicking, boating, fishing, and wildlife watching. Walking trails meander along the Willamette, through the park's different habitats.

Milwaukie’s best kept secret, Minthorn Springs is a 6.52 -acre forested, and open water wetland surrounded by industrial, commercial and residential development.

Over the past fifteen years, the wetland has been restored from a degraded blackberry and reed canarygrass infested wet place to a thriving, healthy wetland, home to lots of birds, mammals, snakes, salamanders, butterflies and dragonflies. 

Situated along the scenic Clackamas River, McIver State Park is only 45 minutes from Portland. Within this little-known gem, you can spend a day or a week exploring the river, forest and fields.

Park at Merryfield is a neighborhood park that is linear in nature, providing protection for the significant wetlands that comprise almost seven acres of the site. An important local access trail passes through the park, connecting the neighborhood to Inza Wood Middle School, Boones Ferry Primary School, and Graham Oaks Natural Area.

Park at Merryfield contributes to the identity of the surrounding neighborhood because it provides basic recreation amenities near residents, preserves wetlands, and includes an important segment of Wilsonville's bike and pedestrian network.
