Sauvie Island

Oak Island is open again for the season. On a warm and sunny day, we hiked the three-mile trail around the northern end of the Island.

Oak Island is located in the middle of Sturgeon Lake which is enclosed within Sauvie Island, one of the largest river islands in the country. It sits at the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers just 10 miles northwest of downtown Portland.

Songbirds and Mountain Peaks

Oak Island is a popular place for birders to bring their binoculars and cameras. Besides the opportunity to see large birds of prey, there is always a chance to see white pelicans, egrets and many varieties of songbirds.
