About

Ross Island occupies the middle of the Willamette River in southwest Portland. Most of it is owned by Ross Island Sand and Gravel, a company that has mined river gravel there since the 1920s. Donated 44.83 upland acres, not including the lagoon shoreline edge, to the City of Portland. Ross Island is part of the Holgate Channel and Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge complex. The complex makes up a significant regional fish and wildlife habitat and is one of the most scenic reaches of the lower Willamette River. It has been designated an Important Bird Area by the Oregon Bird Alliance because of it use by both migratory and resident birds.
