About This Trail
[Total: 0 Average: 0/5]
A hidden wildlife area nestled along the Willamette River right near the Sellwood Bridge.
It’s short switchback down the main parking lot (well maintained and a fence along the hillside) leads down to short loop through a wetland area.
The wetland is full of wildlife! Heron, ducks, songbirds, kestrels and swallows can be spotted easily right on the trail.
The train tracks run right on the edge of the refuge, but do not go by often enough be truly disruptive.
