Maple Ridge, Vortex, and Riverbend Trail Loop - Milo McIver State Park
About this event
Milo McIver has several miles of trails through varied terrain, from floodplain to open meadows and up steep slopes. Probably the most famous mammal here is the Townsend's big-eared bat (Corynorhinus townsendii), a protected species in Oregon. Over the last decade or so, roosting colonies have reared their young in an old barn at the south end of the park.
The park is also home to many songbird species, both resident and migratory, as well as warblers, sparrows, and flycatchers. Grassland nesting birds, such as the western meadowlark, are also common here. Osprey and eagles hunt for salmon and steelhead in the Clackamas.
