About Willamette Moorage Park in Portland

Willamette Moorage Park is a natural area located in southwest Portland, Oregon, along the Willamette River. The park can be accessed via Macadam Avenue and serves as an important component in the mosaic of habitat along the river. It provides a valued greenspace experience for visitors and is part of the Willamette River floodplain.

The park features river access and offers opportunities for wildlife viewing. Visitors may observe various bird species including gulls, sandpipers, cormorants, kingfishers, and swallows. From the north end of the park, it's possible to see great blue heron and bald eagle nests on Ross Island. Osprey and Canada geese nests are visible on transmission towers on the east bank of the river near Oaks Bottom. Beavers are also known to frequent the area.

Historically, the area used to be called 'Carp Flats', referring to access to carp during seasonal flooding. One of the largest Oregon white oaks along the Willamette Greenway, dating back to the Revolutionary War, can be found in the south end of the park.
