Wildlife & Nature
Milo McIver State Park — 952 acres along the Clackamas River — is one of the premier outdoor recreation parks in the Portland metropolitan area. The park is home to one of the world’s largest disc golf courses — hosting the prestigious Beaver State Fling professional disc golf tournament. The Clackamas River supports one of the most important wild salmon runs in the lower Columbia Basin — spring Chinook, fall Chinook, coho, and winter steelhead. Pacific lamprey — ancient jawless fish unchanged for 450 million years — still migrate up the Clackamas. Bald eagles nest along the river corridor. Great blue herons maintain a rookery in the tall cottonwoods. The park’s equestrian trails attract riders, and the diverse forest supports nesting ospreys.
