Smith and Bybee Wetlands Natural Area

Spanning over 2,000 acres of open water, marshes, and cottonwood forests in North Portland, the grounds sustain ospreys, great blue herons, western pond turtles, and Roosevelt elk. Exploring on foot centers on accessible paved routes alongside the Interlakes Trail with its lookout points. For paddlers, a seasonal canoe or kayak water trail runs from December through May.
