Location
At the end of the St. Helens Marina in Old Town. Turn west on to Columbia Blvd off of Hwy 30 and go 1.3 miles to St. Helens St., turn left down to the marinas and park at the parking lot at the end of the road.
DirectionsHabitat and Birds
The river view can have all manner of river birds, loons, grebes, gulls and ducks in season. Bald Eagles and Osprey are regular. A few passerines are in the area along the bank and up the cliff in the residential trees. A scan of Sand Island Marine Park can also turn something up. If you drive to the end of Columbia there is a little park. This affords a better view of the south end of Sand Island. Caspian Terns (in spring) and gulls roost on the sand spit here. It’s worth the stop.
