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.
