Molalla River State Park

Molalla River State Park spans 567 acres at the meeting point of three rivers: the Willamette, Molalla, and Pudding, creating diverse water environments.

The land acquisition for the park occurred between 1971 and 1978, transforming private properties into a public recreational space for Oregon residents.

The territory holds significance as the ancestral lands of the Molalla tribes before the arrival of European-American settlers in the region.

The park maintains designated areas for picnics, off-leash dog activities, and a boat ramp that provides direct access to the river system.

The park contains one of the largest blue heron nesting colonies in the Willamette Valley, supporting substantial populations of these water birds.
