Summer on the Slough
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 Ponds, Smith 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!
