Summer on the Slough

Posted July 1st, 2009 in Kayaking, Milagros News, Wildlife | Tags: , , , | No Comments

We are fans of the Columbia Slough. It is an overlooked environmental gem that weaves it way through east and north Portland. We love Whittaker PondsSmith and Bybee Lakes, and the historic Children’s Arboretum.

We spent part of last lazy Sunday at Whittaker Ponds after hitting Beacon Rock State Park. We watched fish, herons, swallows, and enjoyed the breeze through the trees.

Want to get a real feel for the Columbia Slough this summer? The Watershed Council has a variety of events that are just right for you!
