Parks & Nature
One of Portland's best close-in nature spots, and off the beaten path a little. Sauvie Island is a gorgeous spot with long Columbia River beach frontage. It is purely agricultural and residential, feels like you've left the city far behind. Kruger Farm has summer concerts, pumpkin picking, live music on weekends on the beer porch and a farm market. Check their website as things change with the seasons.
