The One Portland Island Where Adventure Waits For You Year Round
It’s hard not to love Portland’s Sauvie Island. Sitting 10 miles NW of downtown, this notable island is one of the largest river islands in the country, and is bustling with fun year round. Connected to the mainland by bridge, this picturesque island has been a part of Portland history since long before its first bridge opened in 1950.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life.

Sauvie Island Farms, the Pumpkin Patch, Kruger's, Bella Organic Farms, and Blue Bee Farms are just a few of the farms on the island.

The u-pick season starts with strawberries in late spring and goes up until fall with pumpkins.

Even if you don't want to pick fruit yourself, it is fun to be on working farms and see the source of the produce you purchase.

With few businesses on the island, the fun here is all in the outdoors and beauty around you.

You can't beat the mountain views from the island either with all the surrounding mountains visible on a clear day.

Collins Beach is clothing optional, so be forewarned if you wander that far down the road.



The Wapato Access Greenway State Park offers great trails, and the Warrior Point Lighthouse Trail are other standouts on the island.
