Oxbow Regional Park

Oxbow Regional Park is a natural area along the Sandy River in Oregon with extensive forests, river banks, and hiking trails. The landscape is shaped by the freely flowing river, which winds through a mix of old trees and open riverbank areas.

The park was created to protect the Sandy River and its natural surroundings. The river landscape has developed naturally over thousands of years without being interrupted by dams.

The park provides places where visitors can watch local animals in their natural home and learn how they live. The river and forest areas are spaces where people experience nature directly and understand how the landscape works.

The park has camping spots with fire pits and picnic areas that give visitors places to stay overnight. Some areas are designed to be accessible for people with mobility needs, making it easier to reach different parts of the park.

The park is known for the striking sight of salmon migration, when fish move upstream in large numbers. Black bears and beavers are found here year-round, making the river a living ecosystem.
