Sauvie Island

Had to think multiple times before reviewing this place coz of selfish reasons! This is one of my favourite offbeat places in Oregon. It’s so good that I would never share details of this place with anyone so it remains isolated and less crowded 😂 It’s pretty close to the parking area, very calm and peaceful plus you get to swim and enjoy the weather!! Make sure you get a parking pass and print a copy to put it on your dashboard.

Its a trip to go to an island the same size as Manhattan and see nothing but grass, fields and water. Very peaceful place. Easy place to get lost and be left alone.

Great place. Lots of farms, beaches and more. This is Douglas Farms.

Amazing for wildlife viewing in general, but especially birding. Osprey, Bald Eagles, Sandhill Cranes, and migrating Canada geese are common. The Columbia can move deceptively fast at times, so be careful moving far off shore. The last time I was there I saw seals in the river. The nude beach is fun in the summer.

A beautiful island with an abundance of birds, particularly during migration. Farm land and farm stands worthy of a stop. Quiet and a place to refuel your soul. Visited in Sept 2021.

Here's a revised version that retains the emotion while using more descriptive and evocative language: "This place is absolutely my favorite sanctuary. It's where I find peace, harmony, and a deep connection to myself. The water is my soul's solace. When I'm near it, I feel a profound connection to my loved ones—my grandpa's spirit, my cousin's laughter, and cherished memories with my aunt. Water is truly Earth's most precious gift. Growing up as a water baby, I've always been captivated by its magic. If you haven't experienced its tranquility, I urge you to visit. It's a place of relaxation and rejuvenation. Sometimes, the water holds the answers we seek. ❤️

Great place to swim. Only remember there are 2 Sauvie island parts. One clothing is optional ( nude) the other is for family. So be careful read signs. Lol

Excellent bike riding, beach going, or UPick fruit. Something to do all year round, but a must destination in the summer. I am quite find of Sauvie Island Farms to spend time collection fruits and vegetables for freezing. Allows smoothies in the winter while you also remember the warm and sunny days picking the berries.
