Welcome to our wetland!
The Portland Water District invites you to take a walk on our Wetland Loop Nature Trail!

The low-impact trail threads through a managed forest and encircles the rim of a natural heath wetland. A stroll across the boardwalk provides a close look at the unique wildlife found only in wetland areas.

Please help us protect this natural area by respecting the following guidelines:

• Pets are not permitted
  
• Follow marked trail path
  
• Carry in & Carry out belongings
  
• Do not collect or handle wildlife
  

The trail was constructed primarily by students and AmeriCorps members. Many area teachers use the trail to conduct service- learning activities for students studying water issues.
