The Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge
As one of only a handful of urban national wildlife refuges across America, the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge feels like an oasis in Washington County. Featuring 900 protected acres that are just a short jaunt from Portland, the refuge has year-round walking trails through oak woodlands and forests and offers wetland views that are perfect for catching a glimpse of abundant native wildlife species, like beavers and western pond turtles. This urban treasure is also a birder's paradise, with over 200 species of birds, including bald eagles, calling the refuge home.
