Jackson Bottom Wetlands

Always a fun place to take a nice walk and observe wildlife. Kids can expend some energy, see many different birds and plants and spark some good conversations. Restrooms: Inside the visitor center.

Trails are well marked with maps and directional signs at intersections. Benches are available on some of the trails. Restroom in parking lot has a pit toilet and needs attention.

It's an underrated, fantastic Portland area nature park, wonderful to spot plenty of wildlife of all kinds. From Nutria, Muskrats, Coons, Opossums, Squirrels, to Snakes, Lizards, Frogs, and of course plenty of birds as well. For a nice, peaceful, easy short hike, it's perfect. The only knock I have for it is the lack of any terrain variation.
