North Reach

Portland’s Working Waterfront

The North Reach stretches from the Fremont Bridge on the west side of the Willamette and the Broadway Bridge on the east side of the Willamette north to the confluence with the Columbia River (view map).

The North Reach will continue to provide Oregon with access to global markets and support the region’s economy as a West Coast distribution hub and a heavy industrial area. Environmental cleanup, recreational access, and watershed health actions will contribute to the harbor’s long-term vitality.
