About This Trail

Elk Rock Island is an island on the Willamette River in the U.S. state of Oregon. The 12- to 13-acre island, formed 40 million years ago by a volcano, was given to Portland by Peter Kerr in 1940. The city of Milwaukie took ownership of the park in April 2016. The island is accessible via Spring Park.
