A compact riparian preserve on the Willamette River offering wetlands, boardwalks and dense shoreline vegetation — great for birdlife, reflections and intimate nature compositions. Best at golden hour or early morning for soft light and active wildlife; spring and fall bring migratory birds. Trails are short and mostly easy; small parking at the park entrance and no fee. Popular with local birders, so expect quiet, respectful etiquette near nests.
