FRIDAYS: Bird Song Walks at Elk Rock Island
Join Urban Conservation Director Micah Meskel and a rotation of local partners to explore Spring Park and Elk Rock Island. Nestled next to the Willamette River, Spring Park Natural Area is a hidden gem in a quiet residential neighborhood in Milwaukie. A path of compacted crushed rock, boardwalk and overlook area provide visitors access to the surrounding wetlands, without endangering sensitive habitat and wildlife areas. At the end of the trail is a seasonal land bridge to Elk Rock Island, which provides a rocky passage to the Island when water is low.
