Eastside Viewing Platform on Sauvie Island overlooks expansive marshes and channels prime for waterfowl, shorebirds and seasonal migrations. Photograph wide wetland panoramas with reflective water, intimate bird behavior with a long lens, and dramatic sunrises/sunsets over the Columbia slough. Easy roadside parking on NW Reeder Rd, free access, short approach to the platform; expect mud and bugs in warmer months. Best light: golden hour at sunrise for backlit reeds and bird activity; late fall–冬
