Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center

"I've been here several times and I appreciate the ability to see birds in a wetland environment. The facilities are modern and the staff are friendly and helpful. Great viewing platform which is open year round. Not all trails are open in the winter months due to the migratory birds overwintering there."

"It was a lovely walk. They have one trail that is open year-round and then a seasonal trail for the drier months (open through September). There are different environments to walk through, wooded areas and grass lands. Lots of waterways. There is a visitor center but we did not have time to go in. I like that you can loop through at various places so you can walk 1, 2 or 3 miles and still end up where you started without back-traking."

"Easy walks at 2.5 - 3 miles. We see lots of wildlife every time we go. Butterflies, bunnies, herons, bald eagles, ducklings, dragonflies and more. We also love the huge oak tree.and beautiful wetland views."

"This is one of our favorite places to walk near Sherwood. The sunsets are gorgeous. The wildlife are full of surprises. Some areas are digested and others open. In midsummer, there's a captivating wildflower and earthy scent that fills the reserve. It makes me smile. Please keep in mind some trails are only open part of the year for nesting birds. Also, no pets and no running here. Great for bird watchers!"

"We were looking for a place to walk while visiting family in King City. After driving by a couple of times we decided to stop to check it out. We parked in the visitor center parking lot. There are excellent trail maps, clean restrooms, and different trails to walk, with different viewing platforms and interpretive signs. I saw a few people pushing strollers. I didn’t think it would be very easy for a person using a wheelchair because of the deeper gravel paths. A power chair may be better suited in some areas. The visitor center is excellent and offers a large viewing window with a place to sit or darned and look out, as well as a couple of telescopes. The visitor center has great information, and in our experience was staffed by a very knowledgeable volunteer. I was so happy after finishing our walk. What a great treasure!"
