Connecting Rivers and the Community
As directed by the City Council, Portland's Rivers Office works to connect Portlanders to the Willamette and Columbia Rivers and the benefits they provide: ecologic, economic, recreational, and social.
This "Rivers Office" website offers information from a wide variety of sources--governmental, non-profit, and private. Visitors are encouraged to note the sources as they build their understanding of the rivers running through our city.
