Sauvie Island Wildlife Area, Wildlife management area in Portland region, United States
The Sauvie Island Wildlife Area spans 11,543 acres across Multnomah and Columbia counties, featuring 21 lakes, wetlands, and numerous waterways for outdoor activities.
The state purchased the first 5 acres in 1940 to protect waterfowl at Sturgeon Lake, leading to the official establishment of the wildlife area in 1947.
The wildlife area serves as a critical stop on the Pacific Flyway, providing essential habitat for 275 bird species, 37 mammal species, and various aquatic creatures.
Visitors must obtain a $10 daily parking permit and can access the area through Sauvie Island Road, with specific sections closed to non-hunters from April to September.
The protected land contains multiple boat ramps, sandy beaches along the Columbia River, and a network of trails surrounding lakes and the Gilbert River.
