Winter time on Sauvie Island is wonderful! I love to walk along the Columbia River! I walked from the clothing optional beach to the beach past Warrior Rock trailhead. The tide was out! I saw and heard hundreds of geese including the biggest flock of snow geese I have seen! I saw nine bald eagles and several heron and egrets! The day started out foggy but I got some beautiful sun in the late afternoon! I saw a total of less than 20 people! It was a perfect day!

Very easy walking trail with much wildlife and canopy for shade. Just shy of 3 miles around with a boat pier just off the trail. Saw a number of harmless snakes, small frogs, a few small birds, slugs and quite a few heron. Trail wasnt crowded at all. Smallish parking lot. Trail will be muddy after a rain, and for a few days after that since many spots don't get any sun. Most mud can be walked around, though. Second time walking this one and I've enjoyed it both times. Looks like there might be quite a few blackberries along this one when the season hits. Enjoy!

I am sure this place it great, but FYI it’s closed for concerns of COVID19. The entrance is a little confusing. There’s a fish and wildlife center and you drive past the lot there to the parking in the back. The fate to that lot is locked with a “Close Not Open to the Public.” Bummer. Next time I guess...

What is the birding like? What is the best time of year? Any migratory shorebird activity? .

Wonderful opportunities for birds of prey across the pond, and if you follow migratory patterns you will see some of the species here for sure. Bring a telescope or binoculars- the decks are far away from where the perches are.
